Welcome to

The clock is ticking for people who haven’t registered and want to cast a vote in this year’s presidential election. The new voter registration deadline for the General Election is midnight tonight. More than 100 state employees are working overtime to process the massive piles of new voter registration applications already turned in. Secretary of State Kurt Browning said people who want to vote on Election Day need to get to their county election office before it closes, or get their application in the mail.

“They need to make sure that if they drop their application in a mailbox that its postmarked by today. That’s a little iffy because sometimes mail gets postmarked and sometimes it doesn’t. If it doesn’t get postmarked it’s going to be considered having being mailed later after the book closing period,” said Browning.

If you postmark a voter registration form by midnight tonight you will be a registered voter, assuming you fill it out correctly.
