1. If you are old enough, are you registered to vote?

Yes, of course.

2. Did you vote in the November 2023 election?

Yes

3. Do you vote in primaries?

No

4. Do you plan to vote in the November 2024 election?

Absolutely.

5. Do you vote early, by mail, in person, or some other way?

I've always voted in person. While I was working, sometimes I would do early voting, but since I've been retired, I vote on election day. I have no desire to do mail in voting.

I love the mail-in option because I can sit and take my time with the ballot. I usually read the information booklet you get a few weeks ahead of time, especially for the various propositions. Voting in person always stressed me out a little.

1. Yep! As soon as I turned 18, I registered to vote!(that was 30 years ago)

2. I'm sure I did even though I don't remember and would have to look it up online.

3. I make sure I do.

4. Absolutely!

5. I vote by mailing ballot since it became an option in WA state.

1. Oh, yes.
2. See above.
3. Yes.
4. You couldn't stop me even if I were dead! (even though Idaho is a winner take all state. But our votes count in local races)
5. In person. It's the only time we see the neighbors.

1. I think the only votes I have missed are local school board votes only because I didn't feel informed enough to actually vote.

2. I agree, I don't remember an election last November. Hmm......

3. Of course. :)

4. AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. Always have voted in person except once or twice when I was going to be out of state on vacation. :)
Hugs, Jon
