‘Where Do I Vote?’ Is The Top Trending Google Search – Here’s The Answer
Google has made voting this year easier than ever. Take a look.
So, it’s Election Day!
Maybe you haven’t voted in a while, maybe you don’t know where to vote, maybe you recently moved, maybe the law has changed and you don’t know if you need an ID.
What to do?Â
Sit it out?
Heck no!
Google has come to the rescue.
Since last night, “Where Do I Vote?” is the top trending search on Google – that’s a good sign!
The folks at Google have made voting, at least answering all your questions about voting, easier than ever.
Here’s Google’s home page today:
A simple Google search, “Where do I vote?” delivers your polling place location, time the polls close, and even directions.

Via the Google blog:
From Governor and Senate to City Council and local referenda, and from what materials you need to bring to vote to making sure you know who is on your ballot, Google has you covered.Â
Make sure you know how and where to vote—and who’s on your ballot!Â
For the first time ever, simple searches for [how do i vote], [where to vote], [what identification do i need to vote] and [who is on my ballot] will give you all the information you need—tailored by state—to find your polling location, confirm what identification you need to bring, and see who and what is going to be on your ballot on November 4. If you use Google Now, you can also get reminders on where to vote on Election Day.
The rest is up to you.
Go vote – you’ll be glad you did.
