Are you one of the 22,048 people who had voted in the Democratic primaries through Saturday night? Perhaps you’re one of the nearly 2,300 people who registered to vote at one of those said early voting locations? Well, then, this post is not for you. (Though we are very proud of you — you have certainly earned your “I Voted” sticker.) No, this is for those of us who either haven’t made up our minds or just never got around to taking advantage of the early voting. Here’s what you need to know, fellow procrastinators!

• Before you head out the door tomorrow, you probably want to make sure that you know whether a) you’re registered or not and that b) you know where your polling place is. You can check on a) here, and b) here.
• Polling places will open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m.
• Since the District’s Democratic primary is a closed primary, you’ll need to register as a Democrat to participate. (Though there are things for you Republicans and Statehood Greens to vote for, even though they lack the cachet of the Democratic races.) This year, D.C. residents can register at your polling place. If you are a new voter, you will need to bring proof of residence (a driver’s license, bank statement, utility bill, government check or paycheck, or other government document showing your current name and address) with you, and then complete a voter registration form and application for a special provisional ballot at your polling place. BOEE is expecting long lines for new registrations — so if you’re planning on registering at the polls tomorrow, be sure to bring plenty of patience and a good book.
• At the polls tomorrow, you’ll have your choice of voting with a normal paper ballot or the District’s new touch screen voting machines. You can check out a video showing off the benefits of the new voting equipment here, and a tutorial on how to use the new touch screen machines here. Or, if you don’t trust the machines, just stick with the paper ballot; it’s totally up to you.
