'Daily Voting News' For June 17, 2008

 

I have spoken many times in this space about voter registration. People ask where they can go to check their registration or what is the final day for registration in their state. VotersUnite has now provided a data base that tells the voter the final date to register to vote before the general election and who to call to ensure you are still registered. We have also provided information on who to call to find your polling site and some other useful information. http://www.votersunite.org/info/RegInfo.asp
