Is it too late to register to vote?

If you want to vote but haven't registered, is it too late?


Its kinda urgent, friend of mine just got back from europe yesterday and is a citizen and all, he wants to vote really badly.

Monday was the last postmark date to register. =/

However, if he voted 4 years ago, I think he's automatically registered. That's how it was with me when I thought I was too late.

I think if you go to the post office there is a last minute registration thing. I am not 100% but i think i may have heard that soemwhere along the line.

Direct your buddy here... http://www.smartvoter.org/voter/faqvoter.html

As said already, no need to "re-register" unless he needed to update his information--i.e. moved to an address in a different county; change his party affiliation; had a sex change & wants to go by Samuel, not SaMANtha .

If so, he's S.O.L. The last day to git 'er done was Monday da 20th.

Also, on a side note, for those who vote in person:
No one is allowed to campaign for a candidate or ballot measure within 100 feet of the entrance to a polling location. This means you cannot wear a T-shirt or a campaign button or carry flyers, for example, about any candidate, political party, or ballot measure.

HA! love that I had a thread about this and there's still questions.

But yeah, if he's already registered, wherever he was living when he registered is where he can go vote at.

sounds more like FTL to me

I'm pretty sure he's SOL, but his best bet would probably to go to a campaign office, since they are always desperate to get people to join their side
