There’s lots of confusion out there whether you can still vote if your home has been foreclosed. Yes you can!

Keep in mind that while each state has its own regulations and rules on who can vote, there are some general guidelines if your home has been foreclosed that you can follow to vote tomorrow:

• If a foreclosure on your home has caused you to move,  you must re-register if you’ve changed counties or states. However, if you moved within your county it’s a simpler exercise– just update your address.
• Many states will allow you to update your change of address up until Election Day. Otherwise, ask for a provisional ballot.
• If your home foreclosure has begun, but you are still living in your home and are already registered to vote in that precinct, just go and vote as normal.
• If the foreclosure process is complete and you’ve moved out, you need to update your new address (see above).
• If you’ve not yet established a new, permanent residence at which to register to vote, many states will allow you to use your prior address of the foreclosed home.

So don’t let foreclosure keep you from voting! To check the rules in your state, go to the US Election Assistance Commission website.

I’ve always liked to wait until Election Day to vote! Even though millions have already voted, there’s something about the atmosphere of voting on Election Day! I remember going with my mother in the 1950′s to the polling station and watching her vote and always thinking I couldn’t wait to grow up and vote myself!  Of course, bath in the 1950′s there was no such thing as early voting–everyone voted on Election Day, so maybe that’s why I always feel like it’s a holiday and a special day.  As an immigrant to this country, I consider voting a true privilege and not something to be taken lightly. So here’s my reminder to you to vote tomorrow, if you haven’t already done so.

If you need information on where to go vote, www.Vote411.org  is a great resource. Google Maps also make it easy to figure out where to vote. So now you have no excuse not to go out and vote!

If you’ve somehow missed out on getting registered to vote this year, don’t miss out next year. The Easy Voter Guide is a great resource on how to sign up, get informed, and vote!
