-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
THIS YEAR, THERE ARE SEVERAL CHANGES TO HOW VIRGINIANS CAN CAST THEIR BALLOT.
AND, JAMES DAU--THE STATE-DIRECTOR OF "A-A-R-P
VIRGINIA"--WANTS VOTERS TO KNOW ABOUT ALL OF THEIR OPTIONS...
(DAU):
"THIS YEAR'S ELECTION-RESULTS WILL DETERMINE THE FUTURE OF IMPORTANT
ISSUES--LIKE SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, AND THE PRICE OF PRESCRIPTION-DRUGS.
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD, BY VOTING. BUT, IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAT YOU VOTE SAFELY.
YOU HAVE OPTIONS--SO MAKE A PLAN. VIRGINIA'S LAWMAKERS MADE IT SAFER AND EASIER FOR VOTERS TO CAST A BALLOT:
ELIGIBLE VOTERS CAN SAFELY CAST A BALLOT FROM HOME, WITHOUT AN EXCUSE--AND THEY NO LONGER NEED A WITNESS TO SIGN THEIR ABSENTEE BALLOT.
ABSENTEE BALLOTS MUST BE MAILED BY NOVEMBER 3RD TO COUNT--BUT EARLIER IS EVEN BETTER.
IF YOU WANT TO CAST YOUR BALLOT IN-PERSON, YOU CAN VOTE AT YOUR REGISTRAR'S OFFICE, OR AT A SATELLITE-LOCATION, THROUGH OCTOBER
31ST--OR AT YOUR LOCAL PRECINCT, ON ELECTION DAY. YOU'LL STILL NEED TO SHOW AN I-D TO VOTE.
BUT, IT CAN BE SOMETHING WITHOUT A PICTURE--LIKE A RECENT UTILITY-BILL."
