Last Step: VOTE!
To find out what issues and what candidates will be on your specific ballot, perform a search on Google, Bing, Yahoo!, or any other search engine for “sample ballot” and your city and state. From the search results you will find a sample ballot which will list out the candidates that will be on your official voting ballot. On most sample ballots, the candidates and their websites will be listed. From there, you can visit the candidates’ websites and read their particular stances on the issues.
