Tips to make Election Day go smoothly Election Day gives vot- ers throughout the United States a chance to partici- pate in their government. The right to vote is some- thing to cherish, as many people across the globe do not get a chance to elect the officials who govern their countries. While Election Day is an exciting time, voters may find it frustrating if they do not take steps to ensure things go smoothly when they head to the polls. The following tips can help vot- ers prepare for Election Day. • Confirm your poll- ing location. Polling lo- cations may have changed since last year, and voters who have moved in the past 12 months may now have to vote in a new location. Vot- ers can contact their local board of elections or vis- it www.Vote411.org to con- firm the correct polling lo- cations. Voters should also learn the hours when the polls are open so they do not arrive too early or too late to vote. • Bring photo identifi- cation. Voter identification laws vary by state, but voters who want to avoid hassles or holdups may be able to do so by bringing current pho- to identification with them to the polling place. While such identification is not necessarily a requirement, voters who bring along a driver's license or state iden- tification card may get in and out of the polling place more quickly than those who do not. • Confirm registration. Voters can confirm that they have registered to vote by contacting their local board of elections in advance of Election Day. Sometimes voters' names may not ap- pear on the registration list when they arrive to vote, even if they previously regis- tered. Poll workers can help voters who find themselves in such situations. But vot- ers who want to avoid such hassles on Election Day can confirm their registration beforehand. • Be familiar with the candidates and issues on the ballot. Voting is a priv- ilege and a responsibility, so voters should familiarize themselves with the candi- dates and issues on the bal- lot in the weeks leading up to Election Day. In addition to national or statewide can- didates and issues, voters should learn about local is- sues that may have a more direct impact on their daily lives. The more voters learn about the candidates and is- sues in advance, the more quickly they can cast their votes and get to work or re- turn home. Voting on Election Day is a privilege that voters should not take lightly. Tak- ing certain steps in the weeks ahead of Election Day can make it easier for voters to cast their ballots.
