Get your vote on!

Lauren at Feministe has the goods on how to register (or check if you're registered), how to find out more about your voting rights, and other ways to help get out the vote. (Here's state-by-state info on how to register or request an absentee ballot.) Plus, Feministe is collecting stories!

FEMINISTE is soliciting stories about your voting experiences to help encourage registered and unregistered voters to vote.

Do you have a story about working a registration drive? About working the polls? Do you live in a split-ticket household? What kinds of traditions or stories does your family have when it comes to voting in an election? Do you have additional ideas on how to participate in the election during the final weeks? How is the subtext of race and gender this election season going to affect how you, your friends, and family members, are going to vote -- or is it?

Send your stories to fauxrealtho at gmail dot com with "VOTE" in the title, including your name and a link to your website, and we will publish your stories as they come in along with additional information about voting registration, disenfranchisement, and election news. Send us what you've got.

If you have the time and inclination to volunteer, the Pollworkers for Democracy project has info on how to be a pollworker or pollwatcher.

And if you need additional motivation, check out the graphic on the homepage of Women's Voices, Women's Vote, which shows you how many women are unregistered and how many didn't vote in 2006.
