Election Day Is Finally Here!
Election Day! How glad are you to hear that finally?
The Polls are open tomorrow, April 17, 2007 and the future direction of our community will be decided by those who vote. The best intentions in the world don't count in this case so make yourself available between 6:00 am and 7:00 pm. Let your voice be heard!
All the information is available on this website and on the Board of Elections website.

How to Vote Pamphlet and Video
Finally, there has been talk that some of the pollwatchers may be trying to challenge your right to vote. Some of them believe they can tell by looking at you that you are not registered, (or maybe they think they can predict your vote somehow by looking at you). Please make sure that you provide whatever the Election Judges need to let you vote in the regular process. The goal in challenging you is to silence you. They want you to walk away without voting. Stand up for yourself!
If all else fails DEMAND to vote by a provisional ballot. They will try and make you leave, by taking a long time, but stick it out. Your vote will count if you are right.
