I've voted in many elections, but this upcoming Library budget vote is the first time I'll be voting absentee ballot. The ballot is above. I picked up the application at our local library, but it's also available here. A stroll over to Academy Park (the Albany City School District offices across from the capital and city hall) to drop off the application and we got these ballots right away. We'll drop them off before we leave town and then have voted! If you are going to be out of town or unable to get to the polls, then I urge you to get your applications in for ballots now. The deadline if you'd like the ballot to be mailed to you is tomorrow by 4:00 and to drop off is the day before the vote (Monday, July 18). Of course, if you are in town for the election, please make sure you vote that day, Tuesday, July 19. It's important to have your voice heard regardless of your vote. More information on the vote is available here.
If you care about the libraries and want to help to make sure the budget can be passed, there is still time to help! Phone banks will be on-going Monday through Thursday (tonight through 7/14) 6:30- 8:30 p.m. at Citizen Action, 94 Central Ave (half block away from Henry Johnson Blvd.; parking on the street). Please contact dgaffney@nycap.rr.com if you are able to help!
