I Voted

I missed being able to vote in the 2016 general election by a month. My township held an election today for a few local positions, so I got to exercise my civic duty for the first time.

I hadn't registered in advance - I didn't know this election was coming up. Therefore, I couldn't vote at the township hall. So I went to the area's courthouse and registered there. After a very brief wait while they processed my registration, I voted in a room of the courthouse.

Interestingly, there was only one position with more candidates than seats. There were also plenty of positions with no candidates running; I'm not sure how those will be filled.
