Description: As politics heat up during election years, some politicians may try to put barriers up to people voting – even at the last minute. Barriers include closing polling places, creating ID rules, requiring more steps for registration and delaying mail. Parties use tactics like these to minimize the voting effect from segments of the population that do not support them.

If you have not registered to vote, or if you just turned voting age, please do it now. Do not get caught flat-footed. Even if you think you may not vote, you may change your mind later. Who is in that office depends on ME and YOU! Make sure the majority is not silent!

Tips:

• A quick search online will give you the options for registering and any required documents.

• During the process of registering, find out what is needed to vote at the polling booth or via absentee ballot.
