Vote: Joint General & Special Elections Tomorrow
Polls are open from 7am to 7pm for voting in the Joint General & Special Elections tomorrow. If you are unsure where to go to place your votes, here is a list. Your precinct number is listed on your voter registration card.
In order to vote, you’ll need a voter registration card, driver’s license or any official photo ID, birth certificate, United States citizenship
There will be sixteen constitutional amendments up for consideration. If you are clueless about the proposed amendments, you may want to take a look at the Chronicle’s list of recommendations. You may not agree with the recommendations but you’ll find that they’ve broken the issues down to where they are easily understandable.
If you’re wondering if it’s worth your time to vote, yes, it is! Voting in local elections is where your vote counts most and has the most impact on your day-to-day standard of living. These are the items that most affect you, where you live, your children’s education and where your tax money goes. It’s much harder to get the right people/decisions at the top of the food chain if you don’t start at the bottom layers.
Exercise your right to vote. It’s not just a right, it’s a privilege.
It also gives you the right to complain. Early voting turnout was apparently quite dismal so it’s very important for people to show up for the elections. If you’re worried about long lines, don’t be. Usually I just walk in, vote and leave. It’s really pretty painless.
