'The Flash' and 'Black Lightning' to skip airing new episodes on midterm election day

Shifting the schedule on election day does not just benefit the fans and viewers bit also has a plus side to the series as well

With the midterm elections just around the corner and celebrities encouraging the public to vote, the heroes of The CW's 'Black Lightning' and 'The Flash' haven't forgotten to be part of the electoral process.

The shows recently announced that they will not be airing a new episode on the day of the elections and instead both shows, inspired by DC Comics, will replay their premieres. The move is to ensure fans and viewers can vote without wondering what is happening on the show, or without worrying that they will miss out on something important, especially if they live in the areas where the polls open a little bit late.
