Some important stuff about early voting

*Note: I originally posted this in the Indiana group, but the info is very important for all of us. Please take the time to find out the rules in your state, the dates and times, etc. as they may differ.



Note for your calendar: Early voting begins Oct 8!



I am disabled and plan to vote early. It will allow me to vote on a day that I feel well enough to leave the house and deal with it.

I just emailed a friend who works in the voter registration office. Early voting is from 8-4 in our courthouse, I would imagine nearly the same elsewhere, from Oct 8 thru noon on November 5.

As part of our GOTV effort, we should all reach out to those in our community that are elderly, disabled, or whom lack transportation and try get this information to them, or even assist with getting it done.

With all the ridiculous drama everywhere, and Koch brothers planning a voter intimidation campaign with the help of the Tea Party, I'm glad I won't be involved on election day.

1. For Arkansas:

Deadline to register: October 9, 2012.

Early voting starts 15 days before the general election. Unable to find sourcing for the exact date, but since the general election will be Tuesday, November 6, assumption is that early voting begins Monday, October 22, 2012.
