Are You Going to Vote Today?

Maybe you voted early or mailed in your absen­tee bal­lot already. Good for you! If you’re vot­ing today — and you will, won’t you? — I pulled together some point­ers for Elec­tion Day.

Where am I sup­posed to go?

King County Voter Guide Lookup: “Locate your polling place, con­firm your reg­is­tra­tion, and cre­ate and read your cus­tom voter pam­phlet to learn more about the issues on your ballot.“

What to expect.

It’ll be busy. Here are a few tips so that things go smoothly (via the Obama campaign):

• In King County, polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Even if you’re in the park­ing lot of the polling loca­tion at 8:00 p.m., you still have the right to vote.

• You may be asked to pro­vide iden­ti­fi­ca­tion at your polling loca­tion. Approved forms of iden­ti­fi­ca­tion include a driver’s license, state ID card, stu­dent ID card, tribal ID card, voter reg­is­tra­tion card, util­ity bill, bank state­ment, pay­check, gov­ern­ment check, or another gov­ern­ment document.

• All coun­ties except for King and Pierce Coun­ties vote by mail. If you live in a vote-by-mail county, your bal­lot must be post­marked and picked up by Novem­ber 4th. (That’s today before the last pickup time listed on the mailbox!)

• All legal res­i­dents of Wash­ing­ton who reg­is­tered to vote by Octo­ber 4th via mail or Octo­ber 20th in per­son and are 18 years of age are eli­gi­ble to vote.

• Ques­tions? Prob­lems with the polls? Call 877-WA-CHANGE.

Help! There are so many issues!

Some­times you just want to know which boxes to fill in. I won’t judge. For the quick n’ dirty you can’t go too wrong with The Stranger Elec­tion Con­trol Board Endorse­ments. Take their cheat sheet along. Got it? Go! And don’t for­get to get your party on tonight!
