The 58th U.S. presidential election will take place on Tuesday, November 8, but you know that already, right? I mean, how could you not? History has its eyes on us, but maybe you haven't decided who you're going to vote for or maybe you're not registered. You can register online here. If you're not sure whether you're registered to vote in Iowa, you can check that here. You can also register in person at any of the early voting locations, which can be found here. Just be sure to bring along one of these:
- Iowa driver’s license
- Iowa non-operator’s ID card
- Out-of-state driver’s license or non-operator’s ID card
- US passport
- US military ID card
- ID card issued by an employer
- Student ID card issued by an Iowa high school or an Iowa college
The League of Women Voters put together a website so that you can make an informed decision on who to vote for--Vote411. You can enter your address to bring up the races applicable to you and easily compare candidates. The Gazette has an election center as well. If you click on the "Election Guide" and put in your address, it will show you your ballot. The Johnson County Auditor's website has links to all of the candidates websites here. This is not a moment; it's the movement. Vote. Don't throw away your shot--Lin-Manuel won't stand for it ;)
