When is the presidential election?
Because 2008 is a federal election year, you’ll be voting to elect a president and vice-president, all members of the U.S. House of Representatives, as well as one-third of the U.S. Senate. But there’s usually more on the ballot. You may be voting for a governor of your state or for members of the state legislature. You’ll also likely be voting on other candidates and issues in your state, like a “ballot measure” (a proposed law). You may also be voting on a proposition, an amendment to your state’s constitution, an initiative and/or other local issues. Make sure to be educated about the candidates and issues that are important to you. Click here to find out more information from Yahoo! News about issues you’ll be voting on in the upcoming election.
