1. Your Ballot, Your Vote. Don't panic if you registered to vote but your name is not on the list. Get help from a poll worker to make sure your vote is counted. You may be directed to another poling place or given a challenged ballot
ReplyDelete2. I.D. - Don't Go Without It. To be safe, bring your driver's license, or a utility bill or government document that includes your name and street address.
3. Writing on the Wall. Look at the signs at the polling place for directions on how to use the ballot, and instructions for filing a complaint if your rights have been violated.
4. When In Doubt, Ask. Poll workers are there to help you. They will show you how to use the ballot and give you a challenged ballot if you need one, or direct you to the correct polling place.
5. In and Out. You probably won't have to wait too long. But even if the line is long, don't leave without voting. The outcome of any election will be important.

I am not qualified for any of these jobs but If I had to chose I would like to be a senator. They seem more important than a representative. They have to be older and must be citizens longer. There are fewer of them and the work in the upper house instead of the lower house. I think I could handle the job. I either vote yes or no depending on whether or not I like the bill. When A bill come through that I feel strongly about I try to convince people to let it pass. It sounds like fun.
