I voted today. Yep, you read right. What many people forget is that the day of the election is actually the very LAST chance to vote in said election. You can absentee for up to a month beforehand, either by requesting an absentee ballot to be sent to your home, or by going to the Board of Elections in your county and voting in their office. And voting absentee for the October 7th recall started yesterday. In California, you can sign up to be a 'permanent absentee' voter which means that they'll automatically send you a ballot in the mail for every election and you just have to fill it out and send it back before the election date. How easy is that? I got mine in the mail today. For more information on absentee voting in California, go here.
