In the Bangor area starting on Monday you'll be able to cast you vote for more than just the leader of the free world, which frankly ought to be enough to get you out of your chair.  However, if this campaign has you less than enthused for our presidential election prospects, know there are plenty of other important things to vote for this year especially in Maine.

If you find the media rhetoric too confusing to really give you a clear view of how you feel on the issues there is a site that let you peruse the ballot in our area plus show the candidates voting record and issues proposed that are more clear cut.  Ballotpedia  lets you enter your zip code to show you what and who you will be choosing from. Click here to see if what they have to offer helps you.

Remember when voting you can choose only the people and issues that you feel strongly about on the ballot.
