Taking a hot girl walk by the 2024 DNC in Chicago

If you’re like me and want to vote the entire ballot but often lose your way once you get to the 53rd Water Reclamation Minister of Defense & Dairy, here are some tools to guide you.

Early vote if you can.

Hot Tip that I just learned —

I’ve always just thought of WHEN I vote and THAT I vote, not WHERE I vote. Someone commented in a group I’m in that they voted at Winston Salem State University to keep numbers up there and it harder to take it away as a voting site in future elections. I’ve always just chosen what’s closest/what I know, and now wish I could go vote again!

Suggested sites from other Winstonians —

WSSU
Brown & Douglas
Mazie Woodruff
United Metropolitan Baptist Church

This is Winston specific as far as sites go but not in terms on mentality! Find the applicable sites wherever you live. It was also suggested to consider supporting Saturday or Sunday voting.

If you have further resources, for the country or for your state, drop them in the comments!
