Forest Ridge residents can make their lives a lot easier and less stressful by going to the voting polls early in this election. Early voting begins today, October 20, 2008. Look here for a list of times and places to vote.
This year the process of completing a 4 page voting ballot will take more time than ever. Each completed ballot will be scanned. Even if you do not vote for all issues or candidates, your entire ballot must be scanned. There will only be one scanner at each voting location and the scanner can only hold 700 pages before it is full and must be refreshed.
I know that time is valuable, however, there has never been a more important use of time than voting in a Presidential election, especially this year. Whether or not it takes you 15 minutes or 1 hour to vote, it will be worth it. Your country is counting on you!
