If you are planning to vote in the upcoming North Carolina Primary, you may wish to make sure you're actually registered to vote.

The Primary will be held May 6, 2008 - with the last day to register to vote in this election being April 11, 2008. If you live in Wake County, check out The Wake County Board of Elections One-Stop Voting Sites.

Even if you think you're registered, you may wish to double check to make sure you're actually registered here at the North Carolina State Board of Elections. You can also use the Website to update your information, as well.

The other day, I received quite the scare. Weeks ago, I received a mailing from the "Voter Participation Center" in Boston, MA. I ignored it because 1) I live in North Carolina - and this mailing came from Boston, and 2) I have been registered to vote since I was of age to do so.

But something kept nagging at me to at least call the Board of Elections to double-check so I did. Well...it turns out that I had moved out of the county briefly about 5 years ago, at which time, The Powers That Be appeared to have removed my name from their records.

When I returned to the county in 2003, I switched my registration back - and have voted in elections since then. We were able to figure out what happened - and now I'm all set for the North Carolina May 2008 Primary - but oh my, did I get a scare!
