Nakuba lesi siqondiso sigxila kukhetho oluvamile, khumbula ukuthi ukubhalisa kukuvumela ukuba uhlanganyele futhi ekuvoteni uma uhulumeni wakho ubaphethe. Yonke inqubo ilawulwa yiziphathi zikahulumeni nabaphathi bokhetho bendawo, ngakho ukuqonda imithetho eqondile yombuso wakho kubalulekile. Imithombo yezegunya, iqala ku- Vagov ukuthola i-webh yehhovisi lakho lokukhetha futhi uthole ulwazi oluthengiwe.

Isinyathelo Sokuqala: Hlola Ukubhalisa Kwakho Imali

Ukuze uthathe izinyathelo, ufunde isihloko sesikhulu kanye nesihloko, futhi ucabangele izimpikiswano zabasekeli nezithakane.

Isinyathelo 4: Khetha indlela Osebenzisa Ngayo Imiyalezo

Kunezindlela ezintathu eziyinhloko zokufaka ivoti yakho kukhetho lomongameli: i-person ngoSuku Lokhetho, ukuvota kwasekuqaleni, nokuvota ngeposi noma ukuvota. Indlela ngayinye inemithetho yayo nemithetho yezikhathi.

Ukusakaza Ngeposi Ngosuku Lokhetho

NgoLwesibili lokuqala ngemva koMsombuluko wokuqala ngoNovember, izindawo zokuhlola zivuleka kusukela ekuseni kakhulu (ngokuvamile ku- 6: 00 noma 7:00 AM) kuze kube kusihlwa (7: 00 noma 8:00 PM).

Izikhulu zokhetho zizakukhipha izibopho zezihlakala noma zibambe intambo. Izikhathi zokulinda zingahlukahluka, kodwa ukuhlela kusengaphambili kwenza okuhlangenwe nakho kube ngcono.

Kuqala Esontweni

Izifunda eziningi zinikeza inkathi yokuvota yakudala eqala cishe ezinsukwini ezingu-45 ngaphambi kokhetho futhi iphele ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngaphambi koSuku Lokhetho.

Ungavota ezikhungweni zokuvota zakuqala ezimisiwe (ngokuvamile amahhovisi okhetho esifunda, imitapo, noma izikhungo zomphakathi) phakathi namahora amisiwe. Awudingi sizathu sokuvota ngokushesha ezizweni eziningi. Bheka isimiso sokhetho nezindawo zombuso wakho.

Inani elikhulayo lezifundazwe (Califorenia, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, Washington, kanye nezinye) lithumela ngokuzenzakalela yonke imiyalo yeposi ebhalisiwe.

Cela i-posi yakho isikhwama esiwuphawulo ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka. Sebenzisa i- i-Vote.org i-collet engekhoe blatte ithuluzi ukuhambisa inqubo.

Iposi izimpawu ziyahlukahluka — amanye amazwi adinga ukuba ibhola lika-ecoloct jocks zithathwe nge-Evoluser Day, kuyilapho abanye bemukela ama-bolockspost ngalolo suku. Umzila wakho uma isimo sikuvumela, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi i-octedbolot yakho iyathathwa.

Amazwe ambalwa awafuni mfuneko. Yazi imithetho kahulumeni wakho ngaphambi kokuba uye ekuhloleni. Uma ungenayo i-ID eyamukelekayo, hlola uma umbuso wakho ukuvumela ukusayina i-affidavit yesaziso noma ukuphonsa i-colot ye-octal eqinisekiswe kamuva. [[FLT:]]

Kuvota ngeposi, isignesha emvilophini yebhola lomshini isebenza njengesiqinisekiso sakho. Qiniseka ukuthi isignesha yakho ifana nokuthi yini ekhona kwifayela nehhovisi lakho lokhetho. Uma isignesha yakho ibekelwe inselele, ungathola ithuba lokuthi “selapha” ukuntula (ifake indaba) ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngemva kokhetho. Ezinye izifunda zidinga ikopi ye-ID yakho ukuze ihlanganiswe ne-meyili yakho. Ngaso sonke isikhathi funda iziyalezo eziza ne-colot yakho.
