"Let each citizen remember when he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual - or at least he ought not to do so; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country." --Samuel Adams, in the Boston Gazette, 1781.

Other local candidates and possibly up-ballot candidates on the ballot will be there to answer any questions you might have, as well.
