We all know the presidential election is right around the corner.  It is extremely important that EVERY person vote. November 4th is the big day to go to the polls.  But, you can't just show up and expect to vote - unless you have registered.  That registration deadline is October 24th. If you have already registered you don't have to register again, but if you have never voted before or have moved then you need to get it done.

If you are not going to be in town on November 4th, you can vote by using an absentee ballot.  The last day to make application for an absentee ballot is October 30th, so plan ahead.  The last day to turn in the absentee ballot (or postmark the ballot) in November 3rd.  If your boss calls you on the 3rd and says you have to go out of town the next day on business, say no- I have to vote.

If you would like more information about the requirements for voting, or to see where your voting place is, check out this website.  The website also includes a voters registration application that you can download, print and mail in.

Your vote IS important!
