[Durham INC] Early voting begins Thursday

[Pat Carstensen]

There are 3 sites: the Board of Elections downtown, South Library and East Library.  Polls are open 9AM to 6PM in all locations on weekdays, plus some hours on the weekend.  The full schedule is at : http://dconc.gov/home/showdocument?id=13305

You can also submit a request to vote by mail until October 27th.  http://dconc.gov/government/departments-a-e/board-of-elections/current-elections-schedule-absentee-early-voting/2014-absentee-by-mail-requests-instructions-and-schedule

A pitiful 7.64% of voters participated in the primary, so let's try to do better in the general election.
A few other points:
You don't need an ID to vote (except in a few cases for newly registered voters), but will be reminded that you will need an ID in 2016.They are really serious about no electronics in the voting area, so bring a paper copy of your choices if you need a cheat sheet.Because of a preliminary injunction, there is "same-day registration" at early voting this year.  Bring something official that shows you living at the address at which you are registering.  To check on if, and where, you are registered, https://vt.ncsbe.gov/Voter_Search_Public/Early voting is also a good time to update / correct the name and address under which you are registered.  If no-one did early voting, we would pretty much have to double the number of polling places, costing the county (that is, us taxpayers) a pile of money, so please don't feel like you are "being a bother" if you vote early.  Next Monday and Tuesday will probably be the days with the lightest turn-out.
Please cascade to neighborhood list-serves.
Regards, pat
