Washington (CNN) American University students Meredith Reilly and Zachary Houdek requested absentee ballots earlier this fall.

Unprocessed ballot requests, missing mail-in ballots and even difficulty registering because of changed addresses have made voting difficult ahead of the 2020 election, young adults from across the country told CNN.

Wilson convened a group of friends to request their absentee ballots and go through the process step by step together.
