For tens of thousands of you, Election Day already happened. You mailed in an absentee ballot. Or you voted early — perhaps taking advantage of Ada County’s first-ever and user-friendly Saturday voting.

Election Day has become Election Season. Since the objective is to get more people involved, we’re all for it.

For the rest of you, consider this your one final nudge. Yes, you can still vote. And yes, voting does matter.

Perhaps you were planning to vote today all along.

Maybe you’re a procrastinator. Maybe you like to study the candidates and the issues until the final moment. Maybe you’re just a traditionalist who likes the camaraderie of voting on Election Day, even if it means standing in line to do it.

Either way, there is, something quintessentially American about Election Day. And Election Night, as we await and agonize over results. Even when the issues and the candidates divide us, elections bring us all under one roof.

Don’t spectate. If you haven’t made your voice heard, today is your day.
