Examples: Local voting is for your mayor. State voting is for your governor. National voting is for you President. (There are many more, those are just examples of some.)

There is no way to vote online. Most polling places are accessible, and I know in my county, they can even come to your car, they call it curbside voting. You can have a polling worker assist you in voting, or you could have a friend or relative assist you. If you can, go to your polling place, and I'm sure they would be happy to assist you! Make sure you bring ID with you! Here's a website where they list what ID is acceptable:\nhttp://www.sos.state.ga.us/elections/elections/voter_information/#Voting%20on%20Election%20Day\n\nIf you go to:\nhttp://www.georgiacounts.com/faqs.htm\nand scroll down to "Please describe features that benefit the blind, visually impaired, or those with other disabilities..." and "Are these electronic voting units accessible to the visually\nimpaired and disabled?" for some information.\n\nIn the future, you can vote absentee by mail, but you must do it before voting day. See here for more info:\nhttp://www.sos.state.ga.us/elections/elections/voter_information/#Absentee_Voting\n\nI hope you get to vote today! If not, check out the sites, so you can vote in the next election! :)

For local races, your County Board of Elections.  Some have web sites, some don't.\n\nFor state and federal races, your state's web site under Secretary of State.

Do you mean registering to vote?   Electoral Votes are established for each state, not based on registration. I believe.

Ugh, yes.\n\n\nI recently moved counties and had to re-register. I followed the information listed on my voter's registration card today--to a defunct polling location. It was a high school that is completely under construction--there was no voting going on there at all. Funny that there wasn't a sign or anything directing people to the right place--I had to call 411 to connect with the voter registration office, was on hold for twenty minutes, finally found out my correct polling location--went to vote, mentioned they might want to put a sign up at the other location. They said they had sent out a mailing detailing the new polling location and all eligible voters had received it. Hmmm. . . funny. Not this registered voter. I stuck with it until I found out where I was supposed to vote--but I have no doubt that other people just went back home. \n\n grrrrr.

The term Poll can mean:\n\nAnother term for an election. \nThe casting and registering of votes in an election also known as voting. \nAnother term for a polling station, the place where a votor casts his or her votes in an election., (usually plural as in "The polls"). \nA shorthand term for an opinion poll. \n\nLESS POLLING IS DUE TO CARELESSNESS..

We get a black marker and get to connect the arrows (makes you feel like you're back in kindergarten!).  A good question to ask is why do we have so many different ways to vote in the U.S..?  Wouldn't it make sense if we all followed the same process?  And wouldn't it be great if we could all vote via the internet or telephone?  (Surely they can make this a secure system!)   Anyway... thanks for voting!

Voting is a privelege. The United States of America is a nation Of The People, For The People, By The People. It all starts with elections. We elect the politicians who make the laws of the land. Democrats are a party who believe in big government and believe you don't have the capacity to think for yourselves. They put out big government programs that cost tons of money to cure societal problems "because you can't handle it". Republicans are a party who believe in small government. They believe in rewards for accomplishments. They want you to succeed on your own and be self sufficient. There ya go. If you don't vote then someone will be put in office that goes against your beliefs.

From the title, it sounds like the topic assumes the conclusion that the presidential election is an example of true democracy -- unless you put a question mark at the end of the title, in which case the paper would be answering the question of whether the presidential election is an example of true democracy.\n\nIn any event, you might want to try defining some terms as part of your approach.  What is a "democracy"?  Then, what do you mean to add by saying "true" democracy?  (Are you focusing more on technicalities or on spirit?)  We know that American presidential elections involve the weird electoral college procedure, and that it's possible (though very rare) for the winner to win even though another candidate received slightly more votes from regular voters.  Maybe that's a pretty minor thing, though.\n\nAlso, in America, lots of people don't bother voting.  Does that diminish democracy?  They are not prevented from voting, they just choose not to.  So no one ever actually gets elected by a majority of the people, but rather only by a majority of people who decided to vote.  That's people's choice, of course, but does it change the idea of "democracy" at all?

Democracy:  Everyone votes for everything.\n\nRepublic:  Voters choose representatives to vote on issues.

I know the difference.\n\nI've never voted on any national legislation. The people who represented me in the House and the Senate voted for the legislation, not me.\n\nOn the state level, my state was some of both a democracy and a republic. Most legislative proposals were voted on the people who represented me in the state legislature and on the local boards/councils. But on the state level I sometimes voted myself on proposed laws.\n\nI personally don't care whether or not you call it "democracy" or "republic." We aren't, in fact, the kind of government we call ourselves. We call ourselves, interchangably, a "democracy" or a "republic" but we are, in fact, neither one. We are a judicial oligarchy. The U.S. Supreme Court steals power that doesn't belong to them. They pretend that they are objectively interpretting the U.S. Constitution, when what they are truly doing is sheer sophistry.

The one that rigs the voting system the best..\nOr pays the most to media outlets..\n\nIn Australia we use 1 voting system for all, too.\n\nNo weird differences between rich and poor states, town or country voting areas.\n\nSimple too...\nMark a standard paper ballot ...cheap efficient and fast.\n\nUnlike  USA where  unreliable local methods are used to determine who runs the wars for the next term.\n\nDemocracy in action in USA , I think not..

local government is the government in your state/town.\nfederal government runs the country where you live

Im also studying for my PSCI fianl, local governement is closer because it focuses on a smaller porcentage of people and is better able to meet their needs, on the other hand, federal is national and it is harder to be close to the people in this sense.

Votes for each election are counted (as far as I'm aware you can only vote in the constituency that you are registered to vote in), winner is the one with the most votes!  Simple, but effective!\n\nThe party which wins the most seats (areas of voting) gets into power.\n\nIf you've voted by post then your vote is only counted in your constituency.\n\nAt least that's how I understand it.  \n\nAs for the smartarse comment 'they actually have a system', for information purposes, the British Parliamentry system is the second oldest behind, surprisingly, Iceland's!

Nevada has a "None of the above" or NOTA law, which specifies that every election must have another option reading "None of the above" or something similar.  It's a non-binding NOTA, which means that the candidate with the most votes still wins.  (In a binding NOTA, if "None of these" gets the most votes, the election is done over.)\n\nIn Nevada -- the only state in the union with this law -- voting for "None of these" is basically just an expression of sentiment that one disagrees with the choices given.  In other states, this must be expressed by not voting or by casting a blank ballot.
