Plan Your Vote
To Do List
Before Election Day
Register to vote
Decide how you are going to cast your ballot and learn exactly where and how to do it:
In person
Absentee Voting or voting by mail
Early Voting
Look at a sample ballot to see the candidates and issues on the ballot.
Become an informed voter by reading objective, well-written, timely information about the candidates and issues on the ballot.
On Election Day
For in person voting, know where your polling place is and the hours it is open.
Allow enough time to get to the polls and be able to wait to vote if there are lines and a waiting time at the polls.
Have proper identification if identification is required.
Dress comfortably - you might have to wait in line.
Bring a portable chair if you need to sit while waiting in line.
Look at a sample ballot to see the candidates and issues on the ballot and how to mark the ballot with your selections.
Be a Part of Democracy
Look up information on how to work
at the polls on Election Day. Next to casting a ballot yourself, serving as a poll worker is the most important thing you can do to help our democracy thrive. (workelections.com)
