What’s on the Ballot:
Click this link for a Sample Ballot, and check your precinct for precinct-specific ballots. A great idea is to look at the ballot for your precinct and do a little research on each candidate. While you think you may know your decision on the “big ones” such as Governor, you may not know everything you need to know about every Judge or every State Board of Education seat. You are allowed to bring written notes into your voter booth, so don’t feel like you have to remember everything!
