Five Things: Record Voter Turnout Expected, City Seeks Help

1) City expecting massive voter turnout, asks for help
The city of Somerville thinks the number of people voting in this year's election may surpass the number of those who voted in 2008, which set a modern record. As such, the city is asking for a little help.

• It's seeking election day volunteers
• It's asking voters to study ballot questions before coming to the polls
• It's asking people to vote during off-peak hours, if possible

The city has posted more information here, including information about how to be a volunteer.
