I’m 21 years old and I am a virgin voter.Since this is the first time I’ve ever voted in any election, I was confused with amendment wording and just who these people were I would be putting into office, so I did some research. And while I might already have made my decision on who to vote for, there are still other positions and amendments on the ballot to choose.First, there is the crazy wording in the amendments. It’s all very wordy, and then what the heck happens if I vote yes?
Then there are all of the other positions on the ballot: whether or not a judge should stay in office and who to choose for Congress.

Things you should consider before heading to the polls:
Bring a photo ID and find your polling place. Unless you decide to vote early, you have to go to the assigned polling location on Nov. 4. If you forget your ID or end up at the wrong place, you won’t be voting.Check out a sample ballot for your county before you hit the polls. You might get stuck in a long line, and if you don’t know what you are voting for, you are just going to add to the waiting time for everyone. It doesn’t matter who you vote for, as long as you actually vote! Polls are open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Nov. 4.
