Summary: This is one last Get out the Vote Reminder before Election Day on Tuesday, November 4, to remind you of our special duty: voting for our leaders. It is crucial that you insert your voice in the election of everyone from city council members all the way up to congressional representatives, senators, and the president. Please exercise this right … that is, if you have not already done so like so many of your fellow Americans.

This year, the AIA launched DesignVote08, an initiative to encourage member engagement in the 2008 elections. DesignVote08 is a nonpartisan effort to mobilize architects to vote—while also positioning them front and center on the public-policy issues affecting them in the 2008 campaign and for years to come. How you vote is your business. But if you have any last-minute questions, DesignVote 08 can help by taking you to your state election office’s Web site.
