voting

Just a friendly reminder: VOTE! Early voting is underway, and it's the only way you can cast a paper ballot in Monroe County.

You can vote early at the Curry Building from 8am to 4pm, Monday-Friday, now through May 2. For a full schedule and a map to the Curry Building, see the Monroe County Democratic Party's website.

I voted earlier today, and was pleased to be able to cast a ballot for our DFMC A-List Candidates and several DFMC members. I think you'll see some familiar names on the ballot, especially among those running for state delegate:

• David VanDeventer, DFMC Vice Chair
• Carole Scifres, DFMC Secretary
• Eric Schmitz, DFMC Treasurer
• Chaim Julian, past DFMC Chair
  
  (and too many others to list here!)

I like seeing so many good candidates on the ballot.

April 7 is the last day to register to vote for the May Primary Election.

On Monday, March 24, the Monroe County Election Board will meet at 5:00pm in the Justice Building. They will be considering whether to keep paper ballots as an option for early voting.

As you may recall, DFMC teamed with other organizations last year to gather hundreds of signatures in support of keeping paper ballots an option. The citizens of Monroe County deserve a choice when exercising their fundamental right to cast a ballot.

Join us at the Election Board meeting, and let them know that you support keeping paper ballots as an option for early voting.
