How do RVers vote?
If you are a full-time RVer, do you vote? Some RVers vote only on national issues, while others make it a point to get acquainted with local issues so they can vote intelligently. Some RVers choose not to register to vote because the voting rolls are usually where the courts get their jury pools from. Your state may not look kindly if you do not report for jury duty unless you can provide a legally acceptable reason. In fact, some Escapee members let the court clerk know when they'll be in Livingston so they can be part of a jury while in Texas.
Elections are coming up soon. If the state where you are domiciled is not where you'll be on November 6 - and your state is having an election - then you have a short time to request an absentee ballot. Members of the Escapees RV Club who use their mailforwarding service were sent the instructions and deadlines for receiving them. If you do not know the schedule for your state, check for contact information on your voting card. Or do a google for "request an absentee ballot" and your state.
If you are in the area of your polling place, you could apply to work as a poll worker. Generally there is a day of training and then you work the day of the polls. Polls are usually open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with poll workers needing to be there an hour before they open and an hour after they close. One county in CA pays from $90-$120/day. A Kentucky county pays $6/hour. Usually you must be a registered voter of the area where you'll work. You could not only do your civic duty but pick up a few bucks too! Jaimie
