Google continues to provide useful and clever new services.  The latest is the voting information they’re slowly rolling into their Google Maps product.

Users who visit http://maps.google.com/vote will be prompted to enter their address.  Google then tells you where to register, how long you have left to register, and where the local polling places are.  They’ll even direct you to the appropriate government website for more information.

This is really handy.  It’s still being populated with data, so not all cities have all their information yet, but they should soon.

While there are plenty of non-voters who choose not to vote for various personal reasons, there have to be many who simply didn’t know where to vote or even how to register.  Granted, government agencies have been making this information available for a long, long time… but having it accessible through Google just makes it that much easier (and less embarrassing) to find out what you need to know.
