It doesn’t have any fancy HTML5 or CSS 3 tricks to show off, but today’s Google doodle is a helpful one if you live in the United States. Click today’s election-themed ballot box doodle, plug in your address and Google will direct you where to vote.

The results page offers up a ballot summary (it won’t be complete in most places, but it highlights the presidential race, as well as local representatives), links to local registrar sites and, in case it can’t find your polling location, will direct you to your state voter information website.

Depending on where you live there are also links to Google Politics & Elections, YouTube Live for voting results and quite a few other bits of election-related info.
