Letter to the Editor: Where you can register to vote

To the editor:

Tuesday, September 24 is National Voter Registration Day. The goal of this annual event is to increase awareness of and participation in elections by encouraging citizens across America who are eligible to vote to get registered and vote. Established in 2012, National Voter Registration Day has grown into a nationwide cultural and civic event.

The League of Women Voters of Athens County (LWVAC) plans to have volunteers around town and on campus on that day. Citizens can also register to vote any day at a number of locations, including public libraries, public high schools, County Boards of Election, BMV, County Treasurer's offices, The Department of Job and Family Services, and The Department of Health.

Online voter registration is available at www.MyOhioVote.com. At that website you can also check the status of your registration. Voters who have not voted for several elections may have been removed from voter rolls, so it is a good idea to check your voter registration before October 7, which is the deadline for voter registration in advance of the November 5 election. Whenever you change your address or change your name, you need to update your voter registration.

To help voters learn about candidates and issues, LWVAC is preparing a voter guide which will be available at www.vote411.org. In addition, LWVAC is planning a series of candidate and issue forums this fall. A schedule of these events is available at www.athensleagueofwomenvoters.org

Please check your registration status, and vote!
