<p>One of the most important things libraries can do is inform citizens about their important right and duty: voting.   There are many ways that libraries can perform this function, but today I decided to focus on the voter information public libraries share on their websites.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what two libraries are doing:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Dallas Voting" href="http://dallaslibrary2.org/government/voter.php" target="_blank">Dallas Public Library Voter Information</a></li>
<li><a title="Cedarburg_Voting" href="http://www.cedarburglibrary.org/" target="_blank">Cedarburg Public Library</a> (WI)</li>
</ul>
<p>Does voting information appear on your library&#8217;s web presence?</p>
