[MissoulaGov] Remember to Register to Vote!

[Jim McGrath]

I also believe you must be a resident for the 30 days prior to the
election (October 6) to be eligible for late or same day registration
and voting.

For clarification, Monday, October 6 is the last day of regular voter
registration.
Late registration begins the next day and runs through election day.
However, late and same-day registrants can ONLY vote at the elections
office (Msla courthouse). They cannot vote at their local precinct. So,
the October 6th deadline is important because lines are generally much
longer at the courthouse than at the precincts.
 
October 6 is also the deadline for signing up to receive an absentee
ballot by mail. After the 6th, however, unless something has changed,
you can still walk into the elections office, get handed an absentee
ballot, and vote and turn it in right there.

Oh, sorry Ed.  I just got a reminder from someone else and passed it on.
We do have same day registration here don't we?  Is that just in
Missoula or for the whole state?
