VOTING GUIDES:

  • How to Vote: 7 simple steps for beginners   This primer was created by an organization called STEPS (Student Training & Education in Public Service).
  • League of Women Voters (Tompkins County). They highlight VOTE411 as a great place to find general voting information.
  • Tompkins County: Board of Elections  I always look at the sample ballot (see left menu); it looks just like the ballot you'll fill out to vote.
