Today is the deadline to register to vote

I can’t imagine there are many people who read this site who aren’t already registered to vote, but I felt that I would be remiss to let pass the deadline to register without mentioning it.

So: Today is the last day to register to vote in the Nov. 4 general election. If you haven’t already registered, please do so today.

Registration applications must be submitted in person before the Doña Ana County Clerk’s Office closes today at 5 p.m. or postmarked by today and received in the office by Friday.

As of Friday, there were almost 105,000 registered voters in the county.

Also, early voting begins today at the Doña Ana County Government Center, 845 N. Motel Blvd., and today is the first day that those who have requested absentee ballots can begin submitting them.

Early voting runs weekdays through Oct. 31 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday, Nov. 1, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Also, starting Oct. 18, early voting will begin at several other locations around the county.

For more information on registering to vote or early and absentee voting, call the clerk’s office at (575) 647-7428.

You can also register to vote by clicking on this widget, though I don’t know enough about how Rock the Vote works to promise that your application will be submitted in time to vote in this election:
