GO VOTE!
It's important!
What steps do I take?
Get registered: If you're a US citizen 18 or older, get voter registered! It's easy. More information on registration below.
Choose your ballot: Can you be there? If you can, go. Voting in person doesn't take that long, and it takes less paperwork. If you can't go, fill out an absentee ballot.
Finally, vote: Choose the candidate you want in their respective office, and place a check beside their name!
