On the ballot: Ohioans head to the polls today to decide whether to give veterans bonuses, create a livestock-standards board and allow casino gambling in four large cities. Locally, voters will elect judges, city council members, township trustees and school board members. Also on the ballot: money requests from Franklin County Children Services, libraries, school districts and police and fire departments.

Poll hours: 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Bring identification -- an Ohio driver's license, for example, or documents such as a pay stub or utility bill -- that includes your name and current address.

Visitors’ Guide

The weather stays pretty temperate in Washington most of the time until late into the fall, so it is a great season to visit the nation's capital, stroll along the National Mall and gaze at the leaves while you check out the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument and other treasures.
