United Jewish Federation of Tidewater’s Jewish Community Relations Council has compiled a toolkit to educate, engage, and inform Tidewater voters about ‘all things’ election. It offers information on how to register to vote, find the correct polling place, determine what district to vote in, and which candidates will be on the district’s ballot.
Being an informed voter is crucial for a healthy democracy, as it empowers individuals to make educated decisions that reflect their values and priorities. Knowledge of candidates, policies, and issues ensures that citizens can actively participate in shaping their communities and positively influence the direction of their government – whether for School Board, City Council, Congress, Senate, or President.
To vote, U.S. citizens must present a valid photo ID, when voting early or on Election Day. If the polls close while still in line on Election Day, voters still have the right to vote and should remain in line.
