Election resources: Vote! … And help others vote…

  • Published on November 5th, 2012

voteA few resources to help you get out and vote… and report anything weird or illegal:

Find your polling location:

Online, go to this League of Women Voters website. Or just click on the Election heading on the Google frontpage – not only will it give you your polling location, but it’ll help you map your way there! Thanks, Google!

Or do it right from your phone, thanks to the SEIU:  Text “LOC + your address” to 787753 to get your polling place

Report irregularities, and get help if you have trouble voting:

Is someone trying to prevent you from voting? You can get help at the election protection hotline,

  • 866-OUR-VOTE (English)
  • 888-VE-Y-VOTA (Español)

And remember: Don’t let them push you into voting with a provisional ballot when you could have the right to cast your vote on a regular ballot. Provisional ballots will be counted late, if at all. If there’s any way you can make it happen, vote on the regular election equipment.
