Election Day in Onondaga County Tomorrow.

[DoD1776]

Can someone point me in the right path? I haven’t voted before and that’s not going to be an issue for me. But who should I vote for legislator wise? I’ll be looking into the candidate recommended but I just needed to be pointed in the right direction.

Go to your county board of elections web page. You should be able to look up who is running for what. Deciding who to vote for is another matter. For local elections, unless you personally know the candidates, there's usually not a lot of information presented.

In my area, tomorrow is only a primary. There aren't any positions that I can vote for.

Congratulations on putting in the effort. That alone puts you ahead of 75-80% of your fellow citizens.

1st are you registered with a political party. If not then you will not be able to vote in local primaries only the general election.

Really think about registering as a Democrat voter. I live in Onondaga county, for 43 years, and have been registered as a DINO for the past 10 or so. IMO the Republican Party will be absent NYS politics for a long while. So why not try to work the system from the inside?

What I would like to be a part of is a local gun club whose members are DINO’s. We could invite Dem politicians to speak and primary against the ones that were not favorable to us. Depending on the community 50, 150, 300 directed primary votes could be something to be reckoned with.

Sides I got vote against Hillary twice!!

I’m a registered Republican. Thanks for the help gentlemen. Also MothMan, would I have to reregister as a R when the presidential election comes? And midterms?

No, once registered you stay registered until you decide otherwise. There maybe some rule somewhere that you could fall off the voter rolls if you were to not vote for a real long time. Just vote regular and often.

Why would you need to reregister as a Republican for the general election? In the general election you can vote for whoever you want. That's kind of how it works.

What you can't do, as a registered Democrat, is vote in the Republican primary.

And vice versa.
