5 THINGS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER

Patriots,

Election season is finally here -- people are tuning into news sources other than TMZ; opinion polls are tightening; and your television is likely infected with attack ads. While you may have your mind made up about the candidates you’ll vote for, there is still plenty of work to be done in this election. No matter where you live, there are five things you should consider doing to get ready for the 2014 General Election.

1. Make sure you and your family are registered to vote.
2. Tell your county/local official you want to become a poll worker. A number of state websites offer detailed, official guidelines for getting involved.
