Are you registered to vote? Time is running out!

A reminder for Michigan teens who are 18 years old, or who are turning 18 before the November 4 general election: YOU HAVE UNTIL OCTOBER 6 TO REGISTER TO VOTE! After that date, it will be too late, and you will be unable to vote on November 4. If you haven’t yet registered, follow these simple steps:

1. Download, print and fill out the Michigan Voter Registration Form, or obtain a copy of the form at your local CADL branch.
2. Click here to find your local clerk address. This is where you will deliver/mail your completed form.
3. Your form will take a short time to process. You can check your status and find your polling place at the Michigan Voter Information Center. Your polling place is where you will actually go to cast your vote on November 4.

Once you’ve registered, prepare yourself to vote by checking out our Voter Information page. You’ll find links to useful voting guides and election information, as well as contact info for local campaign headquarters, and more. You can also take advantage of our catalog to get informed about candidates, issues and the process – Choosing The President 2008, for example, or books by presidential contenders John McCain and Barack Obama.

Remember: if you’re 18 or older, or will turn 18 before November 4, you have a right to vote! Don’t lose that right because you forgot to fill out the paperwork!
