As the world changes drastically around us, it is more important than ever to make our voices heard at the polls on November 4th.

The hope inspired by the revolutions that swept across the Arab world four years ago has turned into a desperate and urgent fear of violent extremists threatening the entire region. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict saw yet another cycle of failed negotiations coupled with tragedy and violence; now a just resolution appears further away than it has been in decades. The wars in Iraq and Syria continue to tear apart whole societies and fundamentally redefine the role of the global community.

At home, our government has yet to achieve the right balance between protecting our national security and preserving our civil liberties. We have seen countless accounts of alarming, intrusive surveillance programs targeting our community that violate our constitutionally guaranteed rights as equal citizens. Hard won momentum pushing forward immigration reform stalled and another session of congress will end without enacting much needed reform of our immigration system.

The coming election will have to address all these questions and more, and your vote will shape the direction of this country for decades to come. Our community has been a part of the national conversation on these issues and it is critical that we get to the ballot box in November. We have compiled this Voter Guide to help you educate yourself before going to the polls. It contains important information about the voting process in your state and contact information for parties and candidates.

As our community of nearly 4 million Arab Americans continues to grow both in size and in political prominence, we remain focused and committed to the empowerment of our community and the betterment of our nation. For many, that begins at the ballot box. Use this guide, share it, and Yalla Vote!

STATE ELECTION INFORMATIONOverview

Home to over 100,000 Arab Americans, this November voters in Florida are headed to the polls to elect a Governor and representatives to the U.S. House of Representatives from each of Florida’s 26 districts. Voters will continue to face some of the restrictions on early voting imposed by 2011 laws. Following long election lines in 2012 the early voting period was increased, but remains a shorter period than it was prior to 2011. The most heated race of the Florida mid-terms is without a doubt the gubernatorial race. With the polls near even, current Governor Rick Scott (R) faces off against Charlie Crist (D) who is of Arab American descent. Both candidates suffer from low favorability ratings and are said to be the least-liked gubernatorial candidates in the past 10 years. Aside from the millions spent on negative ad campaigns by both sides, the issues that are driving the election are immigration, education policy, protecting natural resources, the controversial stand-your-ground law and broader gun protection policies, and job creation. Each candidate faces an uphill battle with minority voters, a demographic that will likely decide the election. During his tenure as Governor, Charlie Crist jeopardized his relationship with Florida’s minorities through many controversial policies, and Rick Scott has done the same by overseeing the imposition of significant voting restrictions that have a disproportionate effect on minority communities. Latino communities are keenly interested in immigration reform, on which Scott taken a harsh stance, cracking down on undocumented immigrants and vocally supporting policies that amount to racial profiling. Crist, however, has supported the DREAM Act and has vowed to ”keep Florida’s doors open.” Races to watch in the battle for election to the U.S. House of Representatives come from Districts 2, 18, and 26. In the North, the 2nd district incumbent Steve Southerland (R) faces a tough fight from Gwen Graham (D), daughter of former Florida Senator Bob Graham. Southerland has won the endorsement of the Florida business community, but Graham has proven to be a significant fundraiser and a recognizable name.

The 18th district is a true toss-up, pitting one-term Democratic incumbent Patrick Murphy against Republican challenger Carl Domino. When Murphy won his seat from then Republican Congressman Allen West in 2012, he did so thanks to high minority voter turnout. This year’s race will yet again de-pend entirely on the Democrat’s ability to turn out the vote. The same holds true for the 26th district where Democratic incumbent Joe Garcia faces a tough challenge from Republican Carlos Curbelo. Notably, Garcia was attacked earlier this year for speaking at a community based American Muslim organization. Notorious Islamophobe David Horowitz attacked Garcia by insinuating the candidate was accepting money from a “radical Muslim group.” Regrettably Islamophobia remains common discourse for some, but this specific incident luckily did not gain traction.

In safer districts, it cannot go unmentioned that Kathy Castor (D) of the 14th district failed to effec-tively address the tragedy inflicted on her constituent Tariq Abu Khdeir earlier this year when he was beaten, imprisoned without charge, and then fined by Israeli police while on vacation in Jerusalem. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R), who is not facing a challenging race in district 27, has used her position as the Chairman of the Middle East Subcommittee on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs to support Israeli talking points and level blame, criticism and condemnation on the Palestinian people and their government.

• Florida driver’s license• Florida identification card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles• United States passport• Debit or credit card• Military identification• Student identification• Retirement center identification• Neighborhood association identification• Public assistance identification

Registration for Groups with Special NeedsDisabled Voters and Non-English SpeakersIf a voter requires assistance to vote, by reason of blindness, disability, or inability to write or to read the ballot, the voter has options. The voter can vote on a touch screen machine that allows voting to take place with minimal or no assistance and in secret. Additionally, assistance may be given by a person of the elector’s choice, excluding the voter’s employer, an agent of the employer, or an officer or agent of the voter’s union. The person assisting the voter may accompany him or her into the voting booth.

If the voter is unable to write, he or she may ask the person of his or her choice to fill the ballot out in the voter’s presence, as directed. The voter then signs his or her name on the application and ballot envelope followed by the word “by” and the assistant’s own signature.

Persons with physical disabilities may request the local Registrars of Voters to come to the place where they live.

Convicted FelonsOn March 9, 2011 the Florida rules of Executive Clemency were toughened. Automatic restoration of civil rights and the ability to vote will no longer be granted for any offenses. All individuals convicted of any felony will now have to apply for executive clemency after a five year waiting period. Individuals who are convicted, or who have previously been convicted, of certain felonies such as murder, assault, child abuse, drug trafficking, arson, etc. are subject to a seven year waiting period and a clemency board hearing to determine whether or not the ability to vote will be restored.

Campaigning and the PollsOn the day of any primary or election, no person shall solicit on behalf of or in opposition to the candidacy of another or himself or in behalf of or in opposition to any question being submitted at the election or referendum within a radius 100 feet of any outside entrance. The selectmen shall provide suitable markers to indicate the 100 foot distance from any entrance.

Representatives of the news media shall be allowed to enter, remain within and leave any polling place or restricted area surrounding any polling place to observe the election, provided any such representative who in any way interferes with the orderly process of voting shall be evicted by the moderator.

Working the Polls: Poll Watchers and Poll WorkersPoll WatchersAny citizen may go to a polling place and observe. The poll watcher watches to see if any violations of the election laws occur. If such a violation occurs, the poll watcher is to inform the election board of the violation; the election board consists of poll workers. Uniformed law enforcement officers are not allowed to be poll watchers. Poll watchers cannot use the poll workers’ supplies. The poll watcher may not interfere with or impede the conduct of any election. He/she should come no closer to the official table or the voting booths than is reasonably necessary. Unless there is an observation of questionable nature, the poll watcher is not permitted to speak to the election board or voter.

What poll watchers may do:• The first poll watcher of the Election Day has the right to see that the ballot box is empty before

the first ballot is cast. • A poll watcher may observe the distribution of the ballot to the voter and after the voter has

voted the depositing of ballot into the ballot box. • If the poll watcher observes what he thinks might be a violation, he/she may question a voter’s

privilege by stating his/her case to the election board. Remember, the election board consists of the poll workers at that precinct.

• The poll watcher may observe the closing procedures when the polls close. A poll watcher is not allowed to talk to any person in the polling place except when questioning a procedure.

No poll watcher may wear anything advertising a candidacy or promoting for or against an issue. Poll watchers are official observers only. They may observe the conduct of the election before, during and after the polls close. The election board is the sole authority in the polling place on Election Day. No person, except the board, may handle or touch election supplies and materials. If the poll watcher
