Time to vote! Election Day 2009 has arrived

This is it.

In less than twelve hours, it'll be curtains for the 2009 general election as the deadline passes to get ballots to drop sites. Those who are planning to mail in their ballots should get to the Post Office several hours in advance of 8 PM to ensure their ballot is postmarked today and not tomorrow.

For the disabled who cannot vote via paper ballot, King County has three accessible voting locations open today.
