I'm Christopher Cruise.
It’s As It Is in VOA Learning English. I’m Steve Ember.
Tuesday is Election Day in the United States. Americans are going to polling or voting stations this year to elect mainly state and local officials. Voters will have to wait until next year to elect all members of the House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate. That vote is called a midterm election. Americans will have to wait until 2016 to vote for a president and vice president.
Most positions sought by state and municipal candidates on Election Day 2013 deal with local, not national issues. Candidates have spoken at political campaign events and fairs, and even used social media to present their messages.
As you would expect, each message usually says its candidate will do a far better job than their opponent.
And that’s our program for today. As It Is is a production of VOA Learning English.
Steve Ember, here campaigning for your vote. Of course, we’ll just accept your comments on our web site, if you’d prefer. We’ll see you next time.
