A Week away from election day, im here to give you some tips that will help you out on Election Day. It can be a hassle to head to the polls during a presidential election, the busy crowds before work and such, but there are some things you can do before/during this time to make it a cake walk, and of course to make sure your vote counts!

1. Call your local elections office and confirm your voting location!
This is very important due to the fact that you may have moved or changed locations and without thinking, you may have overlooked the idea that you might be voting in a different place!

2. Bring ID to the polling location you are to vote at.
This is most commonly your state issued drivers license, but can range from anything that can prove you are who you are registered to vote under!

3. Ask poll workers for help!
If you have any questions about how to vote, or something on the ballots that seems to be confusing, please, don’t hesitate to ask someone for help, they will be more than willing!

4. (This is the most important point of all) MAKE SURE TO VOTE!
The lines may be long, and you might have to get to work, but polls are open all day! You can get there on your lunch break or after you get out of work! There is no reason next week to say you did not vote because you did not have the chance.

Voting in this country is something overlooked by many people. You have a voice in this election. Even if you don’t want to be apart of this historic presidential election, there are many other reason to get out to the polls and vote on things that not only effect you as a person, but your entire community!

I personally can not wait to cast my vote for Barack Obama next week, but no matter who your voting for, why your voting or anything els that matter. VOTE. You only have one chance to make change in this country and the world. Now is the time to stand up and make it happen!
