Today in my town there were local elections. It is the first time I have participated in small-town, New England politics. My mom and I went to the old Town Hall (right next to the new Town Hall) and it was pretty small, but very crowded. There were two woman at a table that asked our names and both of them looked at their lists and crossed our names off - not sure why it took two people to do that. Then they gave us each two ballots and we went behind the curtain. The first ballot was for the town. Many positions only had one candidate - it felt like voting in a Communist country. The second ballot was about the school. We left the curtain-area and had to go to another woman who crossed our names off again and then we went to fourth woman and handed in our ballots.
I was a little disappointed that I didn't get any black ink on my finger like the Iraqis do after they vote.
I will now have to wait and see who won and which things passed.
