[Durham INC] Vote Tuesday

[Pat Carstensen]

If you are among the 9300 folks (5% of the registered voters) who voted early, thank you!


If you have not voted, the polls are open from 6:30 AM to 7:30PM on Tuesday.  To find your polling place, you can

  *   put an address in here: https://vt.ncsbe.gov/PPLkup/ or
  *   look yourself up here: https://vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup/


We have new software at the precinct polling places so are going back to lining up based on your last name when you first check in.


Everyone in the city votes for candidates from all three wards.  The candidates from Ward 1 have to live in Ward 1 so they know the issues there, for example, but they make decisions for the whole city so have to represent both their ward and the whole city.  Here is a sample ballot: http://www.dconc.gov/home/showdocument?id=21522
Of course, if you don't live in the city, you have nothing to vote for this time. (-:


If you need to update your registration within Durham County, you can still do it when you vote on Tuesday.  You should go to the precinct for the address at which you resided on September 11th of this year.  (If you moved on September 13th, plan to get your address changed when you vote in November.)


Some registrations are marked "inactive" because they sent you mail and it wasn't delivered.  This happens, for example, to folks who have old mailing addresses in their records.  It is no big deal.  Just tell the nice person at the computer what your current address is.


A very small number of people may need ID; it can happen if you are newly registered in Durham and for some reason something messed up with the registration form you sent in.  Pretty much anything that connects your name to your current address will work.  If you look yourself up at https://vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup/, it should warn you if you need an ID.
