Same day registration

New legislation allows voter registration on Election Day. If you have forgotten to register by the October 17 deadline, go to your polling place on Election Day. You will be given a provisional ballot. The Electoral Board will decide whether to count the ballot. To be sure that your vote counts, register by October 17.
