Today is Voting Day!!

Vote

Don’t forget to due your civil duty and get on down to your precinct and vote.

A few weeks ago you should have got a sample ballot in the mail that stated what precinct that you can vote at.

The two places to vote at in Coalinga are located at the Catholic Church and Chapel Grace this year.

If you can’t find your sample ballot, not to worry you can show up at the precincts and they will check to see if they have you on their list by name or by address.

You will also get the all famous “I voted” sticker, which in my opinion is worth the time and effort it takes.

The process is painless and in most cases only involves a few minutes of your time.

A few things that are listed to vote on are Prop 28, which discusses term limits and Prop 29, which is the proposed cigarette tax.  So if you want your voice heard on either of these issues then get down to vote.

You will also be voting on the primary candidate for your registered party. If your candidate is not listed you can use the write in spot to put whom you want to vote for.

As always make sure to read what you are voting for. Take some time to go online and find out what the two propositions would mean to you and then make your decision.

Id like to thank all the Volunteers that make our voting days go smoothly!!!
