Deadline is Tuesday to register to vote in November 8 election

Leading up to the last presidential election, in 2012, 215,313 county residents were registered to vote.

Registering to vote has been made easier in recent years, thanks to a push from the secretary of state’s office to urge more people to register, change their party affiliation or update information online.

“I think the American people. have faith in the efficacy of our election system”, he said in August. To add insult to injury, many of them had followed the governor’s advice to evacuate their coastal homes in advance of the hurricane, hence they had no opportunity to register by the old deadline.

“We did see an increase since August”, Robucci said. To vote early in-person go to the Voter Registration Main Office at 1117 Eisenhower Dr., Suite E.in Savannah.

The original deadline to register was one week ago, October 11, and Supervisor Tammy Jones had extended hours that day to accommodate those who work out of the county, but she will not be doing it on Tuesday due to last week’s low response. However, all voters will still need to produce a valid photo I.D.at the polls.

Sedgwick County Election Commissioner Tabitha Lehman told the AP earlier this month that federal law dictates that election officials have to provide the federal form, so her office has copies of it at the front desk and even provides copies for voter registration drives if requested.

The very first part of this section of code mandates that “Voter registration before an election closes on the twenty-first day before the election or on the first day thereafter which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday”. For this year’s election, 45 percent of registered voters are Democratic with Republicans making up 31 percent.

In recent days, Trump has begun warning of a “rigged election” in Pennsylvania and other locations.

“We urge the department to take any and all measures necessary to protect and ensure the fundamental right to vote in the 2016 election of any Virginian whose right may have been compromised or denied by the failure of legally required registration systems”.

The website also allows residents to check if they are already registered to vote.

Theresa O’Connor, deputy superintendent of elections in Bergen County, the state’s largest county, said there’s no indication of vote rigging there.
