Citizen Power... Activate! Form of... Upcoming Elections

I was robbed!

Well, I'm not sure that Penn and I were ever actual city residents before, but with the recent redistricting process, we've lost our membership in the elite group that gets to go to the polls next Tuesday (or earlier if you like) and vote in the Greensboro city election.

You city-tax-payin' swells, on the other hand, will be voting for a mayor, a city council member from your district, and three at-large council members. You'll also be asked to approve or deny $20,000,000 in bonds for the Natural Science Center. You can determine your city district and polling place at the State Board of Election's Voter Lookup site. (Click "My Districts" once your personal information comes up.)

Candidates' financial reports are available here. The Greensboro News & Record's Vote '09 page has a sidebar listing the mayoral/council races with links to each candidate's personal website (if available). Winston-Salem residents, follow your races here (or tell me how to navigate your local newspaper's website well enough to find the municipal website that certainly must exist, somewhere.)

So have fun on Tuesday, and I'll see you at the polls... next year.
