The public was invited to visit four locations to register to vote where staff was available to answer election related questions. “National Voter Registration Day helps us get the word out that everyone should check their registration status well ahead of the October 6th registration deadline said Pat McDonald,” Director of the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections.
The Board of Elections always encourages everyone who is eligible to cast a ballot. “The first step in the voting process is to make sure you are registered to vote or confirm that your registration records are up to date. It is very common for people to move or get married and forget to complete a new registration card with their current name and/or address,” said McDonald.
The Board of Elections also had extra staff assigned to the Voter Registration Hotline at 216-443-VOTE (8683). The hotline was available to anyone who had questions concerning voter registration.
The Voter registration and change of address deadline for the November 4th, 2014 General Election is at 9:00 p.m. on October 6th. Voters who have not registered, have moved, or have changed their name and not yet updated their registration, must do so by this date. Registration cards are available at public libraries and at the Board of Elections website: www.443VOTE.com.
