election direction

Don't forget that this year's general election will be held on November 4. That's only three days after the wedding! No matter what your political beliefs, we would like to encourage you to get out there and vote; especially in this year's ever so important presidential race. If you have not registered, most states allow you to do so up to a month or less before the election, so there is still time. Below you will find links to some websites providing general voter information as well as websites for most of the major candidates. If we have missed any of your favorite "third party" candidates, let us know.
