NEW YORK (AP) — TVs are so last century. News outlets are using Facebook Live, Snapchat, YouTube and other tools to offer live coverage of Election Day in ways not possible four years ago.

It's a fitting close to an election season that has played out on Twitter and Facebook as much as it has on the nightly news, with debates live-streamed online and candidates barbing on social media.

Here's your online guide for Tuesday. All times are Eastern.

FIND YOUR POLLING PLACE AND MORE

Unless you're one of the millions of Americans who have already voted, it's a good idea to find out where to cast your ballot, preferably before Tuesday. Googling "how to vote" will take you to localized results that include the times the polls are open and any requirements such as an ID. You can also enter your address to locate your polling place.

Facebook's elections tool will show you what's on your ballot and where various candidates stand on key issues. The information comes from the nonpartisan group Center for Technology and Civic Life, which also generates some of the data for Google searches such as "what's on my ballot." To get started, go to https://www.facebook.com/elections/yourplan (you'll need a Facebook account).

KSL.COM LOCAL COVERAGE

KSL.com will provide a live stream from headquarters of the Utah Republican Party, the Utah Democratic Party, and independent candidate Evan McMullin. Reporters at those locations will provide blog updates throughout the night. Also, check for live videos and more on KSL.com's Facebook page and Twitter account.

SNAP AWAY

Snapchat users will be able to see "live stories" on the app — showing people at the polls, election results, acceptance and concession speeches and election night celebrations. In the U.S., users will see overlays they can add to their snaps.

FACE-OFF ON FACEBOOK

NowThis, a news outlet aimed at millennials, will have video coverage on its Facebook channel. Comedian Jordan Carlos will host the stream, called "No Sleep til POTUS."

CNN will have live coverage with reporters in battleground states, as well as drone shots of voting locations and international reaction throughout the day.
