To the editor: November 8, 2022, is a very important Election Day! As president of the Hays County League of Women Voters, I’d like to encourage your readers to make a voting plan. Voting is our way to make a difference and influence our communities, and developing your voting plan will ensure that your voice is heard.
The League of Women Voters election information website, VOTE411. org, is a one-stop shop for everything you need to develop your voting plan. At VOTE411.org, you can find your polling place, check voter ID laws, and see early voting periods and locations. You can also look up your ballot by entering your address — this will show you all the candidates and issues you can vote for this election, along with candidate responses to our nonpartisan questions and the ability to compare them side-by-side on where they stand on the issues.
The League of Women Voters encourages all voters to vote early if possible — either in person or by mail — because it relieves polling places from extralong lines on Election Day and it’s way easier for you!
Putting together a plan will help you make sure you get to the polls with all the information you need. You can also encourage your friends and family to form their election plans. Check out our checklist (vote411.org/ first-time-voter-checklist) to make your plan.
Whichever way you choose to vote this year, know that by doing so you are making democracy work.
Mary Earls, LWV of Hays County
