1/ VOTE: A THREAD. Register to vote NOW because each state as its own deadline for voter registration. Registering isn’t enough, but you can’t vote if you don’t register by your state’s deadline. If you're registered, great--but you also need to actually vote! #RegisterToVote
2/ Visit Vote.gov if you need information on how to register or how to vote in your state. Each state’s voting laws are handled by that state’s Secretary of State. You can contact your state’s office (look on the website) if you have questions. #Election2020
3/ Encourage people you know to register and to vote. Talk with your family and friends, neighbors, coworkers, members of clubs you belong to, and essential workers. You don’t need to mention a candidate to encourage others to take their responsibility as citizens seriously.
I just got off the phone with Donna Patterson (Virginia Beach Director of Elections/ General Registrar). She explained that their “poll books” required an unexpected update first thing this morning.
This resulted in poll workers not being able to track who had voted and who had not. The poll staff was able to see the voter in the system but could not mark them off as “voted”.
This early group of voters in the morning was given a “provisional ballot” and asked to vote and seal their vote in an envelope. This was an emergent decision made by the Board of Elections.
