Today’s failing economy and mortgage crisis are sadly causing the foreclosure of many American homes.
The fact that your house has been or is being foreclosed does not affect your right to vote, particularly if you are registered to vote at that address and you still live there. Even if you have been forced to move somewhere else, most states give you a grace period in which you can vote at your old precinct.
If for any reason you are unable to vote on a regular ballot at any polling location (and if you are unable to find your “correct” polling location), insist on a provisional ballot.
Please call 1-877-US4-OBAMA (1-877-874-6226) to find your correct polling location.
The campaign and the Democratic Party have been working hard to protect your right to vote. In Michigan, for example, thanks to an Obama for America and DNC lawsuit, Republicans are now retreating from the position that they would use foreclosure lists to remove voters from the registration lists.
It’s always a good idea to check your voter registration. You can check your registration by calling the Secretary of State’s Office or local registrar in your home state.
