Vote on Tuesday (if you can!)

Registered Republicans & Democrats can vote from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Anyone in line at 8:00 p.m. will be allowed to vote. If for any reason your eligibility to vote is questioned, you have the right to vote with a provisional ballot. I know that this happened at the polls at Abingdon Elementary during the last election, when the voting machines started acting up. Not to be ageist, but make sure you speak clearly and loudly to the poll workers -- if they type in the wrong information, they can't change it. Your vote will have to be provisional. Just one reason electronic voting is far from fool-proof!
Registered 17-year-olds may vote in the primary if they will be 18 years old on or before November 4, 2008.
The state board of elections Web site has a FAQ if you've got any questions. There's also a link to find your polling place.
