Deadlines For Voter Registration Are As Soon As Oct 6
September 22nd, 2008
This Weekend I again participated in helping get former felons started on the process of getting their voting rights restored, as well as registering regular first time or “not in a long time” voters.

I know that at least in 6 different states (Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Tennessee, Pennsylvania and Virginia, and these may not be the only states) that the deadline to register to be able to vote in November; is on October the 6th.
If you’re not registered before election day, you can’t vote!
Also, if you’ve voted previously and but have not voted in the last 2 federal elections, you may be purged from the voter roles.
It behooves everyone to check their voter registration status.
In Tennessee, you can check it by putting in four points of data at this website, and look to see if it says you’re “active”:
tnmap.state.tn.us/voterlookup/
To check on the voter registration deadline in your state, and to find out how to register; go click on your states name in this list.

Excellent.
There is also the www.votefromabroad.org site for ex-pats.
‘Women of the African Diaspora’ sent out an alert about that site recently.
I’m sorry for giving the wrong url in the email earlier. I could have sworn
it was different, but googled it to be sure this time.
