Your Election Day Survival Resources
By Rachel Walden — November 3, 2008
Most of us are expecting long lines at the polling place on election day. Here are a few websites providing information that may be useful to you as you prepare to vote.
How to take kids to the voting booth on Election Day – tips from an AP writer
Election Day Resources for Voters with Disabilities – Information from the National Disability Rights Network
Election Protection – Voter rights protection
Project Vote Smart – All kinds of info on voting. Also has directory of contact information for local election offices around the country.
Citizen Media Law Project – Information on documenting your vote.
Urban Voter’s Survival Guide – A checklist of steps to take prior to election day.
Voting Rights During Foreclosure – Good starting place on this topic at Ballotpedia, although you may want to verify locally.
As for me, my Election Day survival kit is going to include a cell phone, numbers for reporting problems, a snack, and maybe some water and reading material. And I’m bringing a buddy!
If you need more convincing of what’s at stake in this election, head over to RH Reality Check and read The Future of Sexual and Reproductive Health.
PS-You may have heard that a number of companies are offering free treats or beverages to voters on Election Day. I just learned this morning that this includes Babeland stores in New York and Seattle, who are giving out free sex toys to voters!
