The League of Women Voters encourages you to use your voice and VOTE in the General Election either early at your Town Clerk's office or on Tuesday, November 8th at your polling place.
We are holding our final informal, nonpartisan Voter Study Group this Thursday, Nov. 3rd from 6-7:00 p.m. at the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum. If you want to take an hour to check your facts online regarding the candidates and the issues and how they match up, please bring your laptop or smartphone and join us! We each do our own research, but keep each other company, and cheer each other on as we do the work of being engaged citizens.
Also, keep in mind the following important info regarding voting in this election:
1) The last day to register to vote in this General Election is Wednesday, November 2nd. You can register at your Town Clerk's office or online at the Vermont Secretary of State's website www.sec.state.vt.us/elections/voters/registration.aspx
If you are not sure if you are registered, NOW is the time to check with your Town Clerk!
2) You can vote early at your Town Clerk's office through Monday, November 7th. This is really easy, so if you have any doubt about your ability to get to the polls on Tuesday, November 8th, go and vote early!
3) If you or someone you know is housebound and absolutely cannot get into a car to vote early at the Town Clerk's office or at the polls on Nov. 8th, then contact your Town Clerk and request that a ballot be delivered to your/their home the day of the election. Two Justices of the Peace (one from each party) will deliver it, wait for it to be filled out, then take it and submit it. The last day to request this service is Monday, November 7th. This is really ONLY for people who have mobility issues and can't get out to vote. Isn't it so cool that here in Vermont, every voice is valued so much that people will help someone to vote in this way? Yay, Vermont!!!
Thank you for being engaged citizens!
