Wanna Practice Voting?

If you're afraid that you'll get to the rickety punchcard station and freeze up, unable to remember the names of all those candidates you read about and researched, then the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners has your solution. You can print up any of the primary ballots and practice at home. Or even create a cheat sheet. It's also a great way to make sure you are registered. Especially since today is the last day to register before the primary.
