Are you really registered to vote?

It is better to take the time to check and make sure. Some strange things are afoot.

Otherwise, you will get a provisional ballot and I would rather a regular ballot.

I just moved and I need to update my registration. I will add doing the research for that to my weekend list of things to do.

If not, a call to city or town hall on a weekday should do it.

Our son moved to Florida recently and i suggested he vote here in PA by absentee ballot (he could say he's a college student). He said he's getting his ducks in a row to register in Florida because it might be closer there. We raised a good kid.
