You have been warned!

An off-year election is coming up a week from Tuesday

Shockingly, many people won't bother to vote in it

So now we're going to try something different

This Tuesday, armies of ghosts and goblins will be unleashed

They will appear only briefly this time, as a gentle reminder to non-voters -- but if you still don't vote in the November election, they'll be back to haunt you for the rest of your short unhappy life
