Visit the "State Board of Elections" website for your state. Many states allow voters to cast their ballots early. This is highly recommended to help you avoid waiting for hours in line. Verify the location of the early voting polls because they are usually not the same location as your designated voting venue. Be sure you are registered and get to the polls early. Invite a friend or co-worker to go with you. Every vote really does count!
While you are visiting the State Board of Elections website for your state, see if there is a sample ballot that you can print for your district. If so, print the ballot and analyze each candidate. There are a lot of people running for offices besides the President. Take some time and get to know who your current elected officials are and who is running in this year's election.
Visit the campaign website for each candidate, if available, and mark your vote for each preferred candidate on the ballot. This will save you a lot of guess work when you vote and help to drive the election in favor of the more qualified candidate rather than the candidate with the cooler sounding name. Don't be surprised if your votes fall outside your normal political party affiliation.
Make copies of your ballot and share it with your friends and family if you share similar political views. It may be a big help for them to have a list of suggestions as well. To avoid controversy, it's probably best to leave the field for President blank on the ballot that you give them and only share your other selections.
