Voter Registration Deadline Is Saturday

Sometimes voters will receive a vote-by-mail ballot (also known as an absentee ballot, which means a voter is “absent” from their polling place on Election Day).

Voting by mail is a two-step process, Jones said.

Harrison County Clerk Susan Thomas said she would prefer voters come into the office to register, rather than doing so online.

In Nevada, mail-in registration forms must be postmarked October 8, but voters can register until Oct.18 if they choose to register in person. “The sooner we get the ballot back, the sooner we can start processing it so it will be counted right when the polls close at 8 p.m. on November 8”. The last day to request a mail-in ballot is November 1.

The Election is less than one month away and we encourage all Brown County residents to exercise their right to vote. At the VSPC, citizens can register to vote, update registration, get a ballot replacement, drop off a ballot, and if a citizen does not want to vote by mailed ballot, they can vote on the voting machine. On Saturday Oct. 29, the center will be open from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Whether you plan to vote during the early voting period, or on Election Day, Nov. 8, let your voice be heard.

The groups want the elections commission to adopt a new policy for witness addresses on absentee ballots and accept submissions that include a residential street address but lack the municipality name. There’s still some uncertainty about Delaware County’s voter registration numbers, however. First, is to stop by the County Courthouse and talk to the clerks. For some southern states, registration deadlines were extended due to hurricane Matthew, with state officials hoping that extending the deadlines will allow more people to participate. Military personnel should contact the Voting Service Officers in their units for application forms and additional information or visit the Federal Voting Assistance Program website (www.fvap.gov/oklahoma) for more information and instructions.

Milwaukee elections administrator Neil Albrecht, who told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel last week that the requirement could lead to thousands of ballots not counting, did not immediately return messages seeking comment Wednesday.
