Casting a vote is really a series of steps, sometimes confusing to the first-time voter. When you get to your polling place, you will probably need to wait in line to check in. The poll worker will ask for your name to see if you're on the list of registered voters in your area. Depending on your area, you may be asked to show a valid photo ID with your name and address at which you are

registered, or a photo ID and proof of residency (for example, a utility bill, pay stub, or other government document with your current address). After your residency has been confirmed, you will sign your name on a list. Next, a poll worker will show you to a small booth with a curtain or dividers, which keep your voting experience private. Then, depending on the state where you live, you will fill out a paper ballot, punch a card, or use an electronic voting machine to cast your vote. After explaining how you should mark your ballot or work the voting machine, the poll worker will leave you to make your selections. When you are finished, the poll worker may check your ballot to make sure that it correctly shows your votes and then have you place it in a sealed box. Finally, at the end of the day, your vote will be counted! The purpose of this paragraph is to

A) persuade readers about the importance of voting in elections.
B) inform readers about politics in America.
C) inform readers about the procedures involved in casting a vote.

Some of the following sentences are correct, and some are run-ons and comma splices

Remember that a run-on sentence includes two independent clauses without proper punctuation between them. A comma splice has an insufficient comma that needs to be followed by a fanboys or that needs to be changed to a semicolon or a period. Identify whether the sentence is correct (ok), a run-on (ro), or a comma splice (cs). Then correct each run-on or comma splice by making one of the clauses dependent or by using a comma, a fanboys and a comma, a semicolon, or a period.
