Working the Election Polls

City of Riverside Mayoral election - November 3, 2009.

I am about to study my paperwork for the local (City of Riverside) Mayoral election tomorrow morning...

Los Angeles held the Mayoral election in March 2009:

I have done my civic duty in the past:
Marketing and Development Assistant for the LA Department of Cultural Affairs.
From October 08 - June 09 to be exact.
Here is an image from one of my last days at work at the City building on Figueroa:

I have never sat the polling place before.
Riverside just added a mandatory Spanish speaking person at all polling places.
So maybe I'll even be able to practice Spanish. (Mickey speaks Spanish as a first language, actually)

Voting is important:
Sojourner Truth - (aka Isabella Baumfree)
