Get Registered to Vote!
As everyone should know by now, 2012 is a presidential election year. Anyone who is interested in voting in the preferential primary on May 22nd will need to be registered by April 22 - 30 days before the election. If you don't plan to vote in the primary (but why wouldn't you?) but want to vote in the general election in November, you must be registered by October 6th. Are you registered to vote? If you are, do you know where your polling
place is? The Secretary of State's office has several ways for you to
find out the answers to those and many other voting questions.
