Today is Election Day! No, really, it is

November 5, 2013

voteToday is Election Day. Public schools are closed, bars are open and, despite the misleading ads that are running again, the Voter ID Law is NOT in effect (unless you’re a first-time voter or voting in a new district, then you’ll need a valid ID).

Notable races (and there are few this time around) include City Controller and District Attorney. There is also one spot open on Pennsylvania’s Superior Court.

Incumbent Allan Butkovitz faces Terrence Tracy in the race for City Controller, while Seth Williams is running against Daniel Alvarez for District Attorney. This is Philadelphia and Butkovitz and Williams are Democrats, so basically these contests were (spoiler alert) decided in the primaries.

Here is a complete rundown of candidates for the various judicial offices from the Committee of Seventy and you can find your polling place here and your registration status here.

Problem at the polls? Call 866-OUR-VOTE. Polls close at 8 p.m.
