Voter registration deadlines are coming up -- and some are less than two weeks away. Local newspapers around the country are reporting on the deadlines and encouraging everyone to register and make their voice heard.
From the KVBC Las Vegas:
The clock is ticking for Nevadans to register to vote in the November 4 general election. The last day to register without having to appear in person at the Clark County Election Department is October 4, less than two weeks away. After that Clark County residents will have an additional ten days -- until October 14 -- to register in person at either of the two Election offices. ...New voters aren't the only ones who need to get their application forms turned in. People who want to change their political party affiliation or have changed their name since previously registering will also need to re-register before the deadline.
From the Daily Press in Virginia:
There are 43 days left until this year's historic presidential election, but only two weeks left to register to vote in it. With Virginia playing the role of battleground state in a presidential race for the first time in decades, voter rolls have grown by 280,000 names this year. Nine of every 10 of those newly registered voters will be voting in Virginia for the first time.
From the WSPA in South Carolina:
The deadline for voter registration to vote in the November election is Oct. 4, according to the South Carolina Election Commission. Voters who have changed their county of residence must register in their new county by Oct. 4 as well. ...All registered voters should check their voter registration cards to ensure their information is correct.
From the HattiesburgAmerican in Mississippi:
The League of Women Voters reminds Mississippians that the Voter Registration deadline is near. In order to cast a ballot in the upcoming election, citizens must be registered to vote by October 3. ...League of Women Voters of Mississippi president, Fran Leber, raises the question, “If you could do something easy that could help your family, your community and your country, would you do it? That’s what voting is all about, an easy way to make a difference.”
From the News-Leader in Missouri:
If you're telling yourself you won't make a difference, stop right there. Have you seen the presidential polls lately? The good news statewide is that at least a couple hundred thousand new voters have registered. The bad news is that you have only a few weeks left -- if you're one of those lackadaisical folks. Greene County [Missouri] Clerk Richard Struckhoff said his office has registered 4,826 new voters since the August primary. He said the county now has 186,041 total voters registered. Oct. 8 is the registration deadline, until 5 p.m. at the clerk's office but a little later at area libraries. ...No excuses. Do it.
