State of Emergency: a Vote 2 Live rally, City Council Chambers

Next week Monday, our city’s young adults and youth will have the opportunity to make sure that their voices are heard during this year’s mayoral campaign during the Vote 2 Live rally taking place in Birmingham City Council chambers (City Hall, 3rd floor).

The event is an initiative of Innovative Approach Foundation in cooperation with other community organizations and it is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. and last for about an hour. According to information provided by the event’s organizers, the candidates have been invited to attend so that the city’s young adults would be able to ask them questions the night before the city decides who they want their next leader to be. There will also be giveaways and spoken word performances as part of the festivities.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact Sylvia Bennett-Stone @ 205.283.6980 or DeJuana Thompson @ 205.706.7060.

Location:
720 20th Street North, 3rd Floor

Election ’07: You’ve got no excuse

Not to vote that is. For those that are thinking that since they will not be in town on Election Day that they do not need to worry about having their voices heard, that’s why there’s absentee balloting!

If you are registered and you’re finding it’s going to be iffy whether or not you’re going to be able to get to your voting location on October 9 due to travel, you can cast your vote on the 3rd floor of Birmingham City Hall, between 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. in Conference Room A. You will be able to cast absentee ballots until 5 p.m. this Thursday, October 4.

If you want to hear what some of the candidates have to say about issues and see what else is planned during the last week of the general election for mayor, visit our Election ’07 site.

Election ’07: Final results are up

While we could just keep on mining these numbers for any little thing that they could tell us, we figured we’d stop while we’re ahead and just provide the basic facts from our mayoral poll.

The submission page has been transformed into a results page, providing it in table format. We hope you’re as intrigued by the results as we are. Links to them are listed below:

Voter plans (will they vote on 10/9)

Zip code information

NOTE: We did round numbers to the closest tenth, so yes, we realize that some of these will register just slightly above 100% totals.

Election ’07: Preliminary results are tabulated

We got less than we thought we would to participate but am thankful for all that did take part in our Birmingham mayoral election poll. Fifty-two (52) votes were submitted; 4 of them were disqualified either for multiple IP address use or multiple submissions from an email.

Check out the submission link to see the results as they are posted. Expect the complete details results based on these submissions to be posted tomorrow morning.

While this was not a scientific poll by any stretch of the imagination, it does show the opinion of those that currently read The Terminal. That said, remember that this website WILL NOT be endorsing any candidate for the October 9 election.

Election ’07: Thanks to those that took part in our poll

We just closed the online mayoral poll at 3:03 p.m. We’ll be posting the preliminary results of the poll over on the submission page this afternoon before 4:30 p.m. We will put a link in this post when it becomes active.
