Mark YES if you plan to vote, but have not made it yet.

If NO, why not?

I voted. Elections that are NOT Presidential related, often have a more immediate impact on my life as a citizen of the state of Ohio and the City of Columbus. Things like my property taxes, or how my elected officials will be elected, or who they represent. Those are the kinds of things that need to be taken care of BEFORE the big elections. Voter apathy is counted on in smaller elections to get things like school district taxes pushed through.

An Ohio voter as well I definitely wanted to cast my ballot with all the state issues on the ballot.

Voting is a priviledge that is often overlooked in our society.

I moved over the summer and forgot to register... :bang: :bang:

I will be registered in time for the Spring elections, however.

BTW; I should be an Ohio voter...

Too many state issues in Ohio to not vote.

Nothing to vote for here on St. Thomas today. Having lots of family and friends in my old home state of Virginia, I did work the phones today and at last count had successfully talked 8 people to go down and cast their vote.

Today was election day?
CRAP! It really slipped my mind completely. Too much school on the mind. I didn't really know any of the issues going on right now in Chicago anyway, so my votes wouldn't have been thought out and informed anyway. :grom:

I voted for Issue 1. Not really sure about the Third Frontier part, but the rest seemed like a logical continuation of current practices.

I voted against issue 1. It shoudln't be in the constitution, and while it won't raise taxes, who do you think is going pay back those bonds in 30 years?

True, but if the plan works as they hope then those bonds would be paid back multiple times due to increased tax payers.

I'm interested in seeing Ohio get high tech industries to come here, similar to what North Carolina did in their research triangle.

Vote I did. As a Cincinnati outsider (couple miles from Mt. Airy), didn't get to vote for Mallory, but I did vote for the reform package. I figure, hey it's worth a shot, let's see what happens. Seems to be a lot of Ohioians voting according to this thread. I'm sure Gallop concurs.

Out of state (NC voter in VA) that was unsure of what I was suppose to do, plus I don't know anything about whats going on in my hometown elections. Plus, this was my first election that I was eligible to vote, so I have no prior experience.
