Speaker 1: I'm Cliff Albert. Three weeks to go before Election Day on November 3rd. Have you voted yet? If you haven't yet opened your ballot or gone through the voting pamphlet you got earlier in the mail, you might be surprised to find out just how many races and issues there are that'll be decided in this election. A lot of voters who have been voting for many years probably miss going to a polling place in their neighborhood, like a garage, a school, or a church. Remember, you'd follow the voting signs when you got there, They would check off your name on the voter lists, and then you would take your ballot, walk into a booth or a three-sided stand-up table to make your choices, and mark your ballot. You'd walk out and would be given an I Voted sticker, and you'd be on your way. There are voting centers that some voters go to where they kind of do that, but for several years now, mail-in ballots are the most popular ways that voters vote. You do it at home, you stick it in a sealed envelope, and drop it in a mailbox or at a post office, and you're done. While the methods of voting may have changed, what hasn't changed is the importance of voting. Not voting means having no say, and that's no way to live in a democracy.
