Consolidated Pre-Election Day Post

(I'm posting this in hopes that putting all the information in one place will forestall a series of other posts asking questions about tomorrow's election. If I've missed anything important, or gotten anything wrong, please post comments and I'll update the post.)

Every polling place in Massachusetts is open from 7 am to 8 pm tomorrow. To find out where to vote, fill out the form at http://WhereDoIVoteMA.com . This site will also show you a sample ballot if you click the "My General Election Ballot" link. ImagineElection.com is another good site for Massachusetts election information.

If you live in Somerville, the city web site has sample ballots and its own fill-in form for finding out where to vote.

Besides US President, tomorrow's ballot also has contests for US Senator, Congressmember, Governors Councillor, State Senate, State House of Representatives, and County Register of Probate. Except for US Senator, these races are all uncontested in Somerville and Cambridge. There is a Congressional contest in Medford and Arlington, and a state senate contest in Arlington.

Tomorrow's ballot also has three binding statewide ballot questions. Read more about them here:
Question 1: Repeal state income tax
Question 2: Abolish criminal penalties for possessing less than an ounce of marijuana
Question 3: Ban dog racing
About half of Somerville also has two non-binding questions on the ballot.

If you are a voter with a disability, please read this post by etana.
