I don't know about Ohio but I used to live in Florida and I voted when Kerry ran against Bush and I didn't have to show my passport; all i needed was my drivers license (picture id).

* You can vote. You can actually participate in making a difference in your community locally and nationally. (This also means that politicians will pay attention to you and to your concerns.)\n* You can run for political office except for President\n* You can get a US passport with all the benefits it has to offer\n* You get the protection ofthe US constitution for citizens that aliens do not have\n* you no longer have to worry about your initial country rules\n* The USA has only a volunteer army. If you are obligated somewhere else this will stop

Just bring an ID and something with your address on it.  ie phone bill, electric bill, etc when you go to vote.  And you can do it then.

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?

Generally speaking, you need a passport.  But there are countries that you cannot visit, like Yugoslavia or Zimbabwe

Only citizens of the country, 18 years or older are able to vote. In some states felons are not allowed to vote. For information on becoming a citizen, see the site below. To register to vote, see the second site.

No. Payment of taxes, residency, and voting are completely separate issues. Voting, participating in the government of a country, is properly restricted to citizens of that country. In fact, by law, an American citizen who votes in another country's elections forfeits his American citizenship.

Yes, since 9/11 you must present your passport in order to get into Canada, as well as back into the U.S.

It's a privilege that's a responibility, meaning if you are a felon you loose the privilege to vote.  If you aren't an US Citizen you can't vote.  \n\nNow it's a responibility because it is a part of good citizenship.  A right not used is a right denied.

Not currently, but you will be 2008 due to the IRTPA.\n\nThe Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 requires that by January 1, 2008, travelers to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama, Mexico and Canada have a passport or other secure, accepted document to enter or re-enter the United States.  In order to facilitate the implementation of this requirement, the Administration is proposing to complete it in phases following a proposed timeline, which will be published in the Federal Register in the near future.\n\nThis is a change from prior travel requirements and will affect all United States citizens entering the United States from countries within the Western Hemisphere who do not currently possess valid passports.   This new requirement will also affect certain foreign nationals who currently are not required to present a passport to travel to the United States.  Most Canadian citizens, citizens of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda, and to a lesser degree, Mexican citizens will be affected by the implementation of this requirement.

No.  Bring an ID or utility bill "just in case".  But if you have voted before or have recently registered you don't need to show any form of ID.\n\nIf you haven't voted in a while you may be asked to provide your date of birth.

Under passport regulations, a passport may not be issued to a person who is subject to an outstanding Federal felony warrant of arrest. Also, in most cases, a passport may not be issued to a person who is subject to a criminal court order forbidding departure from the U.S. You will need to check with the court that sentenced you, whether you are forbidden from leaving the U.S. If neither of these is the case, then you will be able to apply for a U.S. passport as per normal. You can start that process here:\nhttp://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html

I'm sorry I can't answer your question very well but I know that there are states out there that do.  In North Carolina, for example, you have to prove residency and identity.  It would be really hard, almost impossible, in fact, to have the items on their list of accepted documents unless you are legally in the country.  If you weren't born in the US or Canada then you have to have multiple things like valid passports and school records.

Yes, each person needs to have their own passport.

I was a Precinct Election Official (fancy name for poll worker) in Ohio.  There were 1038 registered voters in our precinct.  487 showed up at the polls to vote.  There were also a number of absentee ballots, but I didn't bother counting.

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.
