IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT

  • Elections in America are governed by three different levels of government: federal, state and local

  • While the state sets various rules — such as for voting hours and identification requirements — the actual election operation is handled at the local level.

  • That’s where poll workers are hired, polling locations are run, and votes are tallied.
