What to bring on Election day?

Check this website:

It's for first time voters in PA and gives you all the options re: what you can bring.... there are many options listed for people who don't have photo IDs. If none of these options work for you, don't give up! Call the league of women voters and they can help you about obtaining the proper ID (their tele number is at the very bottom of their web-page :-)

Even if you can't obtain proper ID, as long as you're registered you should still vote! You can cast a "provisional ballot" -- so make sure to go to the polls!

Congratulations on being a first time voter!! :-))

PS Don't listen to that nut above me... you are not allowed to wear any election gear for one candidate or the other into the polls!

Moments in History

19th Amendment Ratified

On Aug. 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote was ratified, 72 years after the struggle for women’s suffrage began. Of the 260 women that attended the first Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, only one – Charlotte Woodward – was still alive to cast her first official vote.

First National Female Anti-Slavery Society Convention meets in New York City. Eighty-one delegates from 12 states attend.

1844

First Women’s Rights Convention is held in Seneca Falls, NY.

1866

Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony form the American Equal Rights Association, where people of all races and both genders join to support universal suffrage.

1869

The Women’s Rights Movement splits into two factions over a fundamental disagreement: the New York-based National Woman Suffrage Association created by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton opposed the 15th Amendment unless it also gave women the right to vote, and the Boston-based American Woman Suffrage Association created by Lucy Stone, Henry Blackwell and Julia Ward Howe believed that all men should get the right to vote first and then women.

1870

Fifteenth Amendment is ratified, granting voting rights to all men without regard to race and color, including former slaves.

1872

Susan B. Anthony is arrested and brought to trial in Rochester, NY, for attempting to vote for Ulysses S. Grant in the presidential election. Anthony’s penalty was to pay a $100 fine – which she never paid and never served jail time.

The League of Women Voters generally puts out a news flyer that discusses many of the issues prior to election day. Your state/precinct should also post a sample copy of your ballot online so you can research all of the candidates and review all of the issues.
