[MissoulaGov] Remember to Register to Vote!

[Traci Rasmusson]

Wow! Thank you all for the information on when to register to vote.  Let's
hope that this discussion has inspired some non-registered voters to hurry
and register. : )

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?

You must register by October 5th if you want to vote in this presidential

election.  Just a little reminder...
