Don't Know Where to Vote? Ask Google

While working on a Hubpages article tonight called “10 Ways to Protect Your Vote,” I stumbled across Google Vote, the latest foray by Google into making our lives easier.  The site allows anyone with the basic questions about voting — who, what, when and where — can discover the answers to their questions with this handy little tool.

Google notes that of the people who failed to vote in the last presidential elections, 10 percent said the reason was that they did not know where to cast their ballots. Now, thanks to the wisdom and foresight of Google, there are no more excuses. Think back to 2000 and even 2004, now think about how much the Web is having an impact not only on the presidential election, but in our knowledge of the candidates, the issues and the controversies.

Here’s the quick tutorial Google provides for using Google Vote:

Register to Vote

I don’t care what age you are, what religious persuasion, ethnic background, racial makeup or party you’re registered with. I have tried as hard as possible — and it hasn’t been easy! — to keep politics out of my blog. But Saturday is the deadline in many states to register to vote. This is a landmark, history-making presidential election. Exercise your rights as Americans and vote. Take a look at this cool video and remember to register. Go to the website – it’s easy.

Declare yourself. Before it’s too late.
