I've lived here for a long time. Whichstate should I register in?

If I was registered to vote last year,do I need to register this year?

You vote in the state and county of your last residence. Children of Americancitizens who have never lived in the U.S. vote in the State and County of theirparents last residence.

Yes, a new law was passed this year that all citizens have to re-register foran absentee ballot regardless of whether or not youve voted in the past.


22/29

I heard they dont even count

absentee votes.

My vote doesnt matter, Im from

New York.

All ballots that are legally cast must be counted. It is merely a myth that ballotscast from absentee voters are not counted

One of the reasons why each states Secretary of State certifies their states

elections at the end of November or early December is that they are busy

counting a processing the votes of military and absentee voters that may havearrived after election day.

Whos knows what can change over the next 6 months

Congressional races are close

We want to create and Israel Bloc of100,000 voters, to send the messagethat Israeli voters are a group to reckon with


23/29

I dont feel comfortable voting in an

election of a country that I no longer

live in.

The next President will have a more profound, direct and immediate effect onyour lives (safety, security) than any other American around the globe. JoeSchmo in Montana goes out to vote every election, even though the identityof the next president will barely impact his life - how can you not?
