Time to vote, my fellow Americans!

If you haven't voted early, or if your state doesn't offer early voting, today (November 8, 2016) is Election Day in the United States.

For election-day voting, you will need to vote at your polling place. Find out its location and hours here: http://www.vote411.org/ ; (If your state does mail-in ballots, you'll probably want to drop your ballots in a ballot box rather than a mailbox.  Check your deadlines to be sure.)

You can also see what races will be on the ballot and see the candidates' profiles on that site, as well as on https://ballotpedia.org/ .

If you are still undecided on who to vote for for the presidency, here are a couple entertaining videos from John Oliver on the subject.

Of course, there are many other races other than the presidency to vote on. My ballot had US Senate, US House, state senate, state house, county officials, state constitutional amendments, local initiatives, and statewide and district judges.  Don't forget to place your vote in them; Ballotpedia and Vote411 can help you get information on them.

  • If you live in a vote-by-mail state, it's too late by now for your vote to actually be mailed in time, so plan on a trip to city hall or wherever to physically drop off your ballot.
