CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION STATUS. You can usually do it at the website of your local secretary of state, or at Vote.org.
Anyone who follows me from Georgia? If not, pass it on.
sigh.. Actually, let me just add, THIS BULLSHIT RIGHT HERE, THIS IS WHY YOUR VOTE MATTERS. You think they’d be so hot to take away your rights if it didn’t?
If you can register to vote by mail DO SO!!! Not only does it give you more time to research your ballot options, it provides a paper trail, so you can PROVE how you voted, no matter how the Russian hackers massage the electronic numbers.
Something about the US election always bother me: why do US citizens have to resister before they can have the right to vote? Shouldn’t this be an innate right? Since the US is all about democracy and shit?
Here we automatically have the right to vote if you have citizenship (most people get a citizen ID when reaching 14y), registered your living address for 4-6 months (depending on whether it’s a local or national-wise election, mainly to prevent people from deliberately changing their living address/”moving” to a voting city to manipulate local vote numbers), and are 20y and above. You don’t have to register and you won’t lose your right to vote as long as you’re not in prison. Isn’t this more fair?
