What state are you in?

You can call your city clerk and ask where to vote (it's usually not too far away -- there are many polling places). This is not an unusual request, since many people move during the year and don't know where their polling place is. The clerk also can tell you if you need to bring a photo ID or your voter card with you (it varies from state to state).

In WI, we vote on paper that gets scanned, kind of like taking your SATs (the machine even is supposed to spit out your ballot, on the spot, if you voted twice in the same raceor something, so you can fix it). The instructions are printed on the ballot or in the booth, and the poll workers can help you if there's something that's not clear.

Good luck!
