Every two years we have a national election in America, and tomorrow, Tuesday, November 7th the polls will open across the country and registered voters will have a say in the direction the country takes. No matter what your political inclinations are, if any, we hope you will not stay silent, but will get out and make your voice heard.

Am I registered and where do I vote?

You can find your polling site and contact your county's board of elections by visiting mypollingsite.com.

But I don't have time to vote!

You may also pick up an absentee ballot from your board of elections office, but make sure it is postmarked on election day and has proper postage.

For whom should I vote?
