right now it seems, none of us... for instance in Florida, we have new computerized voting machines with NO paper trail.  why?  when you purchase something at a store don't you want a receipt?  but for an election there is no proof that i even voted.  wake up america.

As long as you are registered, all you need is a government issued photo ID - like a driver's license or state ID - and you can vote. \n\nI haven't seen my voter's registration card in years, and I vote in every election.

Would  be tough; many states do not require you to register as a member of a party when you register to vote (both of the last two states I've lived in, Michigan and Indiana, do not register by party).

Yes,, you just need to sign your name.. Go vote and get off your computer!! Why would you wait till election day to have this question???

I believe it is law. Check with yur local elections officer. They should give you time to go and vote. What are they, republican? LOL

Yes, they can. However, as the President is elected by electoral votes (which are determined by a state's population), all of the people residing there actually only get one vote. How's that for fair?

I wish you would quit advertising this.  And please do have them verify California elections if things go weird. The addresses are on voter's registration cards.\n\nMind you California doesn't knowingly give driver's licenses to illegals anymore, although it used to, and many still are eligible to renew by mail. \n\nThis issue does have me concerned.\n\nWhat on earth is wrong with making sure those who register to vote are eligible to vote?  Yet the Democrats fight verification every time it comes up.  The last time was in a proposed amendment to the Senate immigration bill.

Yes Chinese people can vote for city officials.  In Hong Kong they will be able to vote for their governal leaders in the year 2008 with a plan for the whole country to vote in 2010.\nThe pressure is not building as they don't really care about democracy.  Voting and democracy will not solve anything and is a myth set up by USA to declare it's spreading freedom so they can go to war to get oil.\nChina will have democracy, but it will not change anything.

No, greencard holders (also known as permanent residents) cannot vote in U.S. They must complete a minimum 5 year residency requirement (3 years for spouses of citizens) and then apply to become a citizen before eligible to vote.\n\nEssentially greencard is a long term multiple entry visa (10 year visa) with immigrant intent.

States are given the obligation to regulate voting in the state by the US constitution but such regulations may not violate the US constitution.  This allows voting to vary somewhat.  Still, I think it's universal that the registrar must receive notification of any address changes by a certain number  of days before the election is held.  You should have a voter registration card and it will give you the location of the polling place to which you have been assigned.  There are people who return to that location to vote even though it is probably illegal in all states to do so and some will ask you for proof of address at the poll.\nThe registrar's office is not usually a polling place on election day but there are states who have provisions for voting there in advance of election day.  \nElection day is no secret, sprung on us at the last minute.  If it is important to a citizen to vote, he or she has plenty of opportunity to arrange this and to become fully informed on all issues as well as to view a sample ballot.\n\nOK sorry if I was unsympathitic.  If there was a governor position up for grabs in your state like in mine last year, that would explain it.  Often those cards or announcements come from the parties and they are designed to look official.  Both rep. and dem. made sure my 90 year old mother got an absentee ballot application.  This year I waited for one to show up for her and finally got nervous and called the reg. office and asked when it was coming.  She had me varify some info and it arrived at Mom's in 2 days. All I had to do was ask and she got to vote.  I used to take her to the polls, wheel chair and all.  This made a world of difference.  I still go to the polls, myself, though in my state, being a care giver would qualify me to get an absentee ballot.  \nThe party campaigns can get you confused.  Next year, heck why wait, next working day you can, give the office a call and find out what you need to do so you don't lose your voice.  Some where on your state's web site, you can probably read the voting laws.  I hope you got to vote this year, but the timing was against your chances.  You've got a year to study up and make sure it doesn't happen again.

Yes. You could use the 'territory' rules that other places use, where the number of Representatives and/or Senators from DC (and maybe Puerto Rico) is smaller, because it isn't a state. But, it's hard to imagine a really good reason why the people of the Capital of the United States of America don't get to vote.

I am beginning to understand that illegal aliens vote, too.  I think we need to check voter eligibility at least after the fact.  The addresses are there, too, so we should be able to find offenders.\n\nIt is interesting that it is always the Democrats that block requirements for proof of citizenship for voters.  Long, long ago elderly shut ins might not have had ID.  However, I don't think anyone can get by with no ID anymore, if only for Medicaid. Citizenship is no harder to prove than getting any other ID.\n\nWe could certainly pass a law requiring proof of citizenship for everyone under the age of 70, or something, if this is really seen as a problem.  However, no one says you shouldn't have to prove insurance eligibility with an insurance card, so why should you not have to prove eligibility to vote?\n\nLiving in Southern California, this is a real concern for me.

I think yes some will try,but I agree with the other poster,most did not register or were unable to register.\nMost are not knowingly committing a crime if the try to vote.Because they are being misled by either a party or a friend.The Democratic party is misleading a lot of the illegals by making promises they will not,.can not keep.\nThere will be voter fraud I'm sure and out cry that illegals did vote..Perhaps in some way it may help to change our system of voting, to ensure its not been influenced by the \npeople who are supposed to be protecting our honest/legal vote.The voting machines are fraught with problems and are ripe with the opportunity to commit crimes against the voting public.No one that is an illegal alien in this country should have a legal drivers license .That's just wrong..If they are illegal then arrest them and deport them ,do not reward them by giving them a legal document that enables them to get more legal documents.\nI am disgusted with the way some states officials think/act about this problem.(the republican party is also filled with lies and promises they will not keep to the Hispanic voter)

Not to my knowledge.  It would be difficult to prove you are who you say you are if you could vote on-line.\n\nLong way of saying...you need to go out to vote.  \n\nNext-time you might consider an absentee ballot.  ; )\n\nFor this time...Go Vote!  LOL

In some states, the state legislature has to vote to certify the elections.  In others, it is the Executive branch.
