ELECTIONS - VOTING

ELECTION MATTERS:
Elections matter -  That you vote matters- but who gets your vote matters more.  And it matters that this person knows he will be voted out if he does not represent his constituents. It matters most that  you charge every one who wins your vote to stand up against corruption and tactics that prevent transparency. Knowing who your candidate really is remains the most challenging of voting. So we need to start now.

Then, by November we'll be ready.

Next election :  November  3, 2009    7 am to 8 pm
                  and ( register by October 5th, absentee ballot must be received  by the County  by October 30)

Sample Ballot You can put your address in here and actually print out the names of the
                    candidates that will appear on your ballot  ( at election time)

Cross Filing
-candidates who cross - file can be on both  ballots, no matter their party affiliation
                     So even though in the primary, you would expect only to vote  for members of your own party, 
                     there will be Democrats on the Republican Ballot   and vise versa.  They will not have their party
                     affiliation notated by their  name in the ballot box - so take care to learn who your candidates are
                      before  going into the ballot  box.  ( a good idea anyway, of course)

Montgomery County Voter Services  has more info including Absentee Ballots

Where do I vote ?

Democratic Candidates - primary candidates were pictured and profiled with statement

Republican Candidates 
primary candidates did  not seem to be listed obut hopefully for November
                       election that will change  we can  find  as of election day 

What slots are up for election ?
Here are some - see all on www.smartvoter.org

                 Judges: This is an important time to learn about Judges as the number of Judge spots (7)
                                            being voted on can make a change in how things are done in
                                            Montgomery County overall.

                 Wards: The Even Numbered Wards in Abington are up for election
      
              
  School Board  - There are 4 - and 4 new faces would be a start  ( see School Issues
                                       &  see particularly the "Communications Policy" there- a blow to transparency )

                 Treasurer/ Tax Collector -hope we can get this race focused on the  amount of money
                                                we are paying to  have our taxes collected.
