If you want to participate in the Nov. 4 election – you know, the really big one that you may have heard about with this Barack fellow running against the John guy – and you haven’t yet registered to vote, then you must get it done TODAY. If your voter registration card is not postmarked on Oct. 6 or earlier, then you won’t get to cast a ballot, so get it to the post office, or go to one of Travis County’s offices, but get your registration card turned in. (If you’re going to drop it into a mailbox, make sure today’s pickup time at that box hasn’t already passed.)
And even if you think you are registered, double check just to be sure. You don’t want to show up at the polls on Election Day and find out you were wrong and be deprived of your constitutional right as an American.
Register to vote through Travis County.
or register to vote through the state of Texas.
But no matter what, get registered. If you still have questions, call 854-9473.
