Know Before You Go
You have an important opportunity to make your voice heard in Election 2010. Here’s what you need to know before you vote:
- The general election will be held on November 2, 2010. Polls will be open 6:30 AM – 7:30 PM.
- If you can’t vote on Election Day, there are opportunities to vote absentee.
- Check your voter registration card or look up your directions and a map to your polling site.
If you can’t make it to the polls, you can still vote. Here are your options:
- Obtain an absentee ballot from the Board of Elections and vote by mail.
- Vote absentee at an early voting site.
- If you are sick or have a disability, you can apply or have a near relative or verifiable legal guardian apply in person at the Board of Elections office for an absentee ballot that may be hand delivered to the voter.
Some candidates are running for district offices. District representation helps officials have a better idea about the particular concerns in your neighborhood or community. When you vote, your ballot will automatically list your districts. However, it is always a good idea to find out your districts ahead of time so so you can learn about your candidates.
Find your candidates and get ready to vote!
