As we get closer to November 6, candidates from both sides of the political divide are asking voters to look back to 2008 and consider how their lives have changed. Mitt Romney says things have gotten worse, Obama says we're better off. Where you stand on that question depends in part on what has happened to you in the last four years.
As a part of the Guardian's ongoing coverage of the US election, Gary Younge is visiting towns across the US in an effort to reconnect with voters he met in '08, and asking them to tell him just that: how their lives have changed since then and will they vote differently as a result?
For this election 2012 edition of the people's panel series, we're expanding on Gary's coverage and asking Guardian readers to join in. Tell us what determined your voting decision in 2008, and what will determine your voting decision now. Is what was important to you then still relevant? Do you have new priorities?
To participate, fill out the form below. We'll publish as many submissions as possible in the lead up to the election.
