Tuesday, Nov. 6, is the big election day to decide whether Republican candidate Mitt Romney or U.S. President Barack Obama will be elected. But many may not know where or how to vote for 2012 Election Day.

Voters must have pre-registered to vote based on their state's guidelines, which generally entails being a U.S. citizen, 18 years of age and a resident in that state.

Those eligible to vote will head to the polls to choose based on their personal preferences when it comes to the deficit, jobs, healthcare, taxes and much more.

In the hopes you have your candidate chosen already, you along with the other 133 million registered voters should begin to make plans on where to vote for Election Day. Thankfully, there are multiple websites which help people all over America figure out where to cast their ballots.

However, if you live in an area affected by Hurricane Sandy, which made landfall last Monday and caused mass damages along the East Coast, check with your local elections official to confirm your polling place or learn of any changes.
