Potential voters can have the nearest polling location sent to them by text message, find it on the campaign's website or call a toll-free phone number...
...country's 60th anniversary May 14, and Israel has threatened to reinvade Hamas' Gaza stronghold if it launches new attacks. A Hamas-provoked Israeli incursion would undermine pro-peace players on both sides and enrage Saudi Arabia and Egypt, which are key to negotiations.
