EQUITY Responds: WID Answers Your Questions

Q: I haven't voted in years, is it too late for me to vote in the presidential election in November? 


 
A: No, there is still time to register to vote, but time is running out.  Each state’s election rules differ, but generally, you have until October 4-6 to register for the General election. To register to vote online, try the easy-to-use website www.rockthevote.com and click on “register to vote”. Fill out the required fields and click on the “prepare form” button after the last question. You will then need to sign the printout, which is already addressed for your convenience, and follow the directions to mail it in.
