Today's the day USA, time to make some noise :cool: Super psyched on behalf of all the young people voting for their first time - I support you, I appreciate you, I respect you, and today I'm going to vote with you!

Some trouble-shooting resources, just in case:

Remember to bring your ID! Can't hurt to take a piece of mail as a backup proof of address too.

If you're not on the list of registered voters at your polling place, you can always say, "I'd like to request a provisional ballot." Better than turning around and heading home silenced.

Vote Save America set up a hotline, just in case something goes wrong or if you have some questions- call 866- 687-8683 or text "our vote" to 97779 to talk to someone who will help your sort it out.

Please post your "I voted!" selfies here so we can see all the different stickers! (but don't take a pic with your ballot, that's illegal.) Democracy let's goooo!

Don't worry, you'll have another opportunity on Tuesday, November 5, 2019! Requests for absentee ballots vary by state, but here's a good place to start: https://www.vote.org/absentee-ballot/
...and even if you receive an absentee ballot, you don't necessarily have to use it! You can still vote at the polls in person if you're back from China by then. :heart:

Voted! That was surprisingly easy. Got my free sticker, too!
If only we can get the calls and ads to stop, I'm sure I'll be seeing the same ad all night tonigjt when I am trying to watch YouTube, although the polls all close at 8 pm here.
Here's my snelfie:

I'm not part of the US, but the midterm elections are all over the papers here in Europe, so we're following your american antics from close by - whatever you decide, will affect the rest of the world. Think about the impact of your vote...

HUGE thank you to everyone who weighed in :cool:

Politics can be stressful and nauseating, and for many of us, the Arena is kind of a safe space from that discourse. Thanks for hearing me about the urgency and importance of voting, and I'm so proud of everyone who made the time and participated in our democracy ...with a special shout out to TWO pony collectors who voted for their first time yesterday! 

:heart:

     Watching from Canada, this election was a bit stressful as well. American politics are very important for the rest of the world. While this isn’t the result I was hoping for, it is a bit more balanced. A step in the right direction to make sure all voices are heard, at least.
