Voter registration deadline nears

August 30, 2011

The clock leading up to the Nov. 8 election is ticking away and area voters who aren't registered to vote or are unsure of their status have a little more than a month to prepare.

The deadline to register to vote in the Nov. 8 election — which covers 10 proposed amendments, several of which could have a strong effect on veterans in the Crossroads area — is Oct. 11, according to Howard County Election Administrator Saundra Bloom.

“The registration deadline for any election is 30 days prior to the election day,” said Bloom. “If they haven’t received their card or aren’t sure if they’re registered, all they have to do is come by the office. They can fill out the voter registration application and their card should be mailed to them in time for the November election.

“For those that can’t get out, they can call us and we’ll mail them the form. They can fill it out and just mail it back to us. It’s a very easy process.”
