Election Day Guide – Your Voice and Your Vote

A blog has been running on New City Patch about voting in Clarkstown. It was prepared to encourage citizens of Clarkstown exercise their vote responsibly. This post summarizes the information and provides links to the more detailed discussion in earlier posts.

1. How turning out to vote determines the ethical climate of politics and government in Clarkstown: Integrity or Elected Office – Make Your Choice

2. How to exercise your vote when you know it is important to turn out but you do not like the candidates: Dilemma of the Digusted Voter

3. Clarification that the “minor parties” are not really parties at all: First-Time Voters – Multiple-Party Illusion

4. Engaging with how the system favors incumbents, and a first-hand assessment of the incumbent candidates for the Clarkstown Town Council: Voters and Incumbents – The Town Council

5. How to protect the sanctity of your vote from electioneering based on absentee ballots: Protecting Your Vote – Absentee Ballots

6. Decrying the “dirty politics” that have marked the race for Superintendent of Highways and suggesting that we unite in refusing such politics: The Sleaze Factor in Politics – Not Wanted in Clarkstown

Turning out to vote is the most important contribution that you can make to improve political behavior and to stand for good government. Not voting opens the door to “dirty politics” and irresponsible decisions. I encourage you to vote your conscience and your best judgment.

I will do my best to answer any questions that appear in the comments.

Respectfully,
