Here are a few details and rules that will help make the voting process run smoothly. Make sure to share these with your friends:
If you are registered and will be 18 or older by November 4th, 2008, you can vote in the May 6th Primary.
It is no small a coincidence that the United States Supreme
Court upheld Indiana voter's identification law requiring a Photo I.D.just before Indiana May 6 primary. It has been a long held belief that the law was created to help Republicans and hurt low income Democrats at the polls. The grass root audience who are needed to take Senator Barack Obama over the top in Indiana will be discouraged from having to jump through the hoops to satisfy Indiana's I.D. laws. Those who understands the trapping to reduce the turnout need to be prepared. From Obama website:
Polls will only be open for 12 hours -- 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. -- and we're anticipating high turnout, so try to vote early in the day. Go before work if you can, or plan to take time to vote on your lunch break.
When you vote, you must bring with you a Photo ID issued by the state of Indiana or the U.S. Government that has your name and an expiration date after November 7th, 2006.
Acceptable ID includes Indiana driver's licenses, Indiana state photo ID card, a U.S. Passport, U.S. Military ID or Student ID from an Indiana state school, so long as it includes a photo and an expiration date.
And if this is your first time voting, make sure you bring an acceptable document that shows your current address, such as an Indiana driver's license, current utility bill, bank statement, or paycheck.
