5 At the Polls to Cast Your Votes
As a registered voter, you vote at your precinct’s polls (6am-7pm). Voting is usually by computer, machine, or written ballot.

Straight ticket: vote for all the candidates within a single party Split ticket: voting for candidates in different parties Absentee ballot: vote before election day if you’re not going to be at the polls on election day

7 Terminology continued:
Exit poll: News media and political workers ask voters who they voted for as they leave the polls Popular vote: votes cast directly by the people Electoral votes: chosen people who cast votes for the president

8 Factors in predicting which citizens will Vote
