    Hey, I was wondering what procedure is for you guys and gals around election time.

    Does dispatch send you thru home or what?

    Good question because how does a trucker vote? I would say it doesn't matter what state you are in, but does your licences have to match the state you are voting in? I am clueless to the history of voting, so great question:yes2557:

    Signing up for the absentee voting would be the easiest thing for OTR drivers I would think. They mail your ballot to you, you fill it all out, then you can either turn it in in person, or mail it back in.

    Im not a expert either when it comes to voting, but I think you can only vote in your district because that district is going to have all of the local crap and laws to vote on as well. I dont think you can vote anywhere else. You can, in some states, vote early, or do the absentee thing.

    I vote through absentee ballot just like military personnel who are deployed and anyone else who may not be home to vote do.

    Yeah, some districts allow early voting, but its easier to just get an absentee ballot.

    I use early voting.Absentee works but have you seen the US Mail service:biggrin_25513: Nope I'll just get in early.

    Most companies will get you through the house at the least if you give them a window and tell them why.
    Kinda like jury duty.Talk it over with them and they will work with you.
