With all due respect to the Republicans and Statehood Greens, the election for Mayor of Washington DC happens today and will be determined by Democrats. Although today's vote is technically a party primary, DC's overwhelming registered Democratic majority virtually ensures that that party's primary winner will prevail in the general election.
If you live in Mount Pleasant, you are likely voting in one of two schools: Bancroft Elementary at 1755 Newton Street NW or Bell Multicultural High at 3101 16th Street NW. Some of you way down on Harvard St NW closer to Adams Morgan will vote at H.D. Cooke School. Check your registration card or DC Board of Elections and Ethics website. Where ever you vote, the polls are open from 7:00AM until 8:00PM.
You have to be registered as a member of one of the three major political parties to vote today (that's Dem, Rep or Green). Those registered as Independent will vote during the general election on November 2, 2010.
