If you want to execute your constitutional right to play a part in our government, you first must make sure you are registered. If you are already registered, please go to the next step. If you haven't, click here.
Over 100 million people did not participate in the 2000 election. Some never learned to vote or felt that the entire process was too complicated for them to understand. For some it was just too inconvenient and some just couldn't be bothered.

How do I vote started with the premise that many potential voters don't know how to vote. This site is dedicated to putting out information and letting you, the voter, make your own decisions.

How do I vote simplifies the registration, information gathering, and voting process by providing one point of contact for potential and registered voters. The website, www.howdoIvote.com offers citizens information that is timely, that can't be found elsewhere, and is portable.

The site was developed to allow voting neophytes and those who need candidate and issue information to spend a minimum amount of time getting it: learning the steps needed to vote, registering, reading, and syncing.
To vote, you have to do three simple things.
This means identifying the issues and candidates who best represent your views. This site provides information on federal, state, and local races including candidates for school board, Central Committees, special districts, judicial candidates, bond issues, and propositions.

Once you've made your choice, print out a Vote Sheet to take to the polls with you. Easy.
Make a decision from the facts you've gathered and vote one of two ways. Go to the polling place nearest you (see your voter pamphlet for the address of the polling place nearest you). Or from home, you can use an absentee ballot.
