November 2 is an important day for our country. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but voting is the right and duty of every American citizen.

I have attached a list of voting information resources for every state (save Oklahoma and Wyoming). Most of these are "Voter's Bill of Rights" or "Voter Rights and Responsibilities" handouts. Wherever possible, I have tried to use the Voter's Bill of Rights from whatever entity in the state oversees elections. Where not possible, I have turned to outside sources. When a "Voter's Bill of Rights" was not available either from the state or another source, I have included links to resources on the state websites.

A note about outside sources: I only used materials that I felt came from a reputable source and, more importantly, in all but one case, had citations to state law included. The one exception to this is that materials from the League of Women Voters do not carry citations.

Most important among these other sources was Election Protection, a nonpartisan organization founded by several nonpartisan organizations, "which is committed to protecting the right of all citizens to cast a ballot on Election Day".

If you find an error, please comment. If you find better sources, please let me know. This is all about information, the more, the better. Also, this is a public post -- you do not need to ask for permission before linking to it.

One last thing: if you are on my friends list, you know my politics. This, however, is a completely nonpartisan post. I don't care if you are a Republican, Democrat, Green, Libertarian, Peace and Freedom, or Pink Polka Dotted Penguin Party. You have the right to vote, and it is important that you exercise that right. And this is not just about the Presidential race, either: there are Senate and House seats, State Assembly and County Commission seats, and seats on city councils and school boards all up for grabs -- and in some places, even seats on judicial benches. Not to mention state and local taxes, bond issues, measures, constitutional amendments. All of these are important; just as important as who the President is. Become informed, and vote!
