Is it ok to bring a list when I vote tomorrow? (Texas) |
|
Tomorrow I am going to go vote for city related offices/props. (mayor/etc)
Unfortunately there is too much for me to remember. I can't remember all the names combined with the props.
Does anyone know if there would be any problem with me bringing some paper with what I want to vote for written down on it to take with me when I vote? Or would that be against some rule?
Thanks!

I took a sheet of paper with my choices to the recent Propositions from Hell election in Texas. You can take whatever you want in there, except maybe a gun.

If you don't have a photographic memory, it can be hard to remember names and your understanding of some poorly-worded issues. There's always some issue locally I have to remember to vote NO on because of the way it's worded.

5. The wingnuts always give their |
|
sheep a list of equally insane people to vote for. I'm sure those people carry it into the voting booth with them. I don't see why you can't.

6. I always bring a cheat sheet. |
|
There are always tons of props, and it speeds things up for the people behind me

My wife serves as a precinct chair and election judge.
The only thing you can't do is use the paper to convince others for what and for whom to vote, as that would violate the electioneering provision of state law (no campaigning within so-many-hundred feet of the polling place).

8. It's OK, just don't flaunt it |
|
My understanding is that you can bring whatever you want, as long as you don't show it to other people (don't want to be taken as "electioneering")
I always take a list for prop. elections so I don't have to read the whole damn thing in the booth.

9. Back before I voted by mail |
|
my paper (SF Chronicle) printed a sample ballot on the front page before an election. I'd check off my votes and take it w/me when I voted.
Does the Chron still do that?

10. You should always take a sample ballot with you. |
|
We always do and so do most others. Especially if there is a long ballot. Our paper prints out samples, or the election office sends them out to registered voters. You can take them in the polling booth with you.
