With Congress in recess and the elections quickly approaching, our citizen editors from across the country have spent more than a year identifying candidates, researching the issues, and writing about politicians' records. With just 8 days left before the election (unless you're in Louisiana's 2nd or 4th congressional district [3]), our candidate profiles are receiving some heavy traffic.

Of course, you can help: do you have some information about any of the candidates in your state or district? Why not add that to their Congresspedia profile page? Check out our Wiki the Vote [4] project, click on your state, and then find your candidate. We've written a guide to getting started [5], and you can always contact [6] a staff editor for help.

Also, stay tuned next week following the election, as we recap the races that will shape the 111th Congress.
