Thea Brodkin (Voter Service Chair) gives expert video advice on: Why do I have to register to vote?; How do I register to vote?; Do I ever have to re-register to vote? and more...

We call them the third level parties or the minor parties. They're not minor, for people they're very important. They become on the ballot by getting a certain amount of people to vote in the last governortorial election, then they become legitimate and they're on the ballot. And they do it by, a lot of it is by signatures and they have meetings in neighborhoods. The 'Greens' have been very active in this neighborhood where I live. So there is a possibility of third party candidates getting on; and of course they're on all ballots. They, the third party candidates do participate in the political process.
