  • E 24: Getting the Facts so YOU Can Vote

    On this episode we discuss the No-ID voter and the fact that some voters have no form of ID exclusions can apply if they have previously voted. Some states allow utility bills with current address. Federal law requires all first-time voters who do not supply information that can be verified against other state or federal databases at the time they register to show some form of ID when they vote.

    The Procrastinating voter and the fact that very few states allow late or in-person same-day voter registration. The fact is most deadlines range from two weeks to 30 days before Election day and voters who fail to register by the specified date cannot cast a ballot.

    The Eager Student Voter may face complications since there is a smaller proportion of students that have a driver’s license than in the 1980’s. There are a few ways for students to vote even if they don’t have a license, so parent’s LISTEN UP and help your kid exercise their right to vote.

    The Working Parent Voter has difficulties in voting because they are likely not to be able to take a day off work to go vote. Plus it can go against some of our attendance records. Some states allow absentee ballots and early voting. Some do not. Learn about what some states allow and check the link below if your state participates in paid time off to cast your vote.

    Lastly I discuss Felony Voters. This is the one I was completely in the dark about until about a week ago. Times are changing and those who have previously had felony charges are likely to be able to vote. While the ability between states vary (some require if convicted of a previous felony charge, one must be off probation and nothing outstanding.) Regardless, check the link below for tools to help get registered to vote if you have a previous felony conviction.
