NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Tuesday's midterm elections will play out not only in the voting booth and on TV but also on the Web, which will be offering the most coverage ever for an election.

Each of the major networks' Web sites will offer a robust package of features for political junkies that will go well beyond the usual updated results that have been a staple of election coverage on the Web since 1996.

"It's a much bigger deal this time around," said Marty Ryan, executive producer of political coverage at Fox News.

For ABC and CNN, it means a lot of streaming video of original coverage for the Web and live election events for their respective premium digital services CNN Pipeline and ABC News Now. Other network sites also will offer streaming video, customizable election trackers and other video- and data-intensive applications that are a combination of what they learned worked in 2004 as well as other things that they have developed since.

2. This may be silly...

But is there anywhere to go watch an election, like an election party or some such? How can I find a local bar or hangout that is up all night (like i will be ;-) ) to see events unfold?

3. Call your local candidate's office...

Many of them have Election Night events set up, or they'll know of something. While you're on the phone with them, you can offer to help too :)
