Last day to register

October 4, 2008 – 5:44 am by Nicholas

Today is the last day to register to vote without going in person to the Elections office. Be sure you’re registered!

You may not be aware that since 2006, Washington’s Republican Secretary of State has canceled more than 450,000 voter registrations in an effort to “clean up” the voter rolls.

It doesn’t take much to get removed from the voter rolls.  You may have been removed if, for example:
1. You haven’t voted in a long time,
2. Your signature on your absentee ballot envelope wasn’t deemed a match with the signature on your registration card, or
3. Your absentee ballot was returned by the post office (the post office doesn’t forward ballots to your new address).

Everyone should check to make sure you are currently registered at your current address.  You can do this online, and in most cases you can update your registration online.  But you must make any changes by October 4!

Please take a minute to check your registration by clicking here or copy paste to browser:

Just fill out the information in the upper right-hand corner “Your Voter Guide”. If it doesn’t bring up a voter guide, register online at: https://wei.secstate.wa.gov/osos/secure/pages/Onlinevoterregistration.aspx
