This muddled cascade of  partial information about voter registration is a perfect demonstration of the serious drawbacks of urgent e-mail messaging.  You mention "inspiration."  I'm inspired to doubt the accuracy of any of the registration messages.

The official rules for voter registration in Missoula County are surely written down somewhere in plain English.  What do they say?  --Marylor Wilson

  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?
