Tomorrow is the last day to register and vote early

That's according to this article via DNA Info:

Saturday will be the last day to both register and vote early in the city's runoff election.

Langdon Neal, chairman of the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners, issued a reminder Friday that city residents can still register and vote, but same-day registration will not be available on Tuesday, when voters go to the polls to elect a mayor and 18 aldermen.

Similarly, absentee ballots must be postmarked no later than Monday. The city has sent out 54,541 absentee ballots, with the deadline to request one having passed....
Saturday will be the last day to vote at the city's 51 early voting sites: one in each ward and another at the board's main offices at 69 W. Washington Blvd. The sites will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Those who have not yet registered can still do so by presenting two forms of identification, at least one with the current address. Acceptable forms of ID include a driver's license, state ID, passport, pay stub, utility bill, bank statement, government check or some other form of government correspondence.

Voters who newly register, however, must vote at that time; they cannot opt to vote at the polls Tuesday.

If you haven't registered to vote please make it a point to do so tomorrow and be prepared to make your choices as well. For those of you who haven't voted yet please do so on the final day of early voting or definitely do so on April 7th which is the runoff election day.

The aforementioned article noted statistics about early voting in the city as a whole and in those 18 wards where Aldermanic candidates are facing runoffs.

Have you registered to vote or would you like to help register voters?

If you haven't registered to vote here's some info from this month's Aldermanic newsletter:

You may register to vote in the 6th Ward Office, 406 E. 75th St., until Tues., October 7, 2008. If you have moved or changed your name, you must reregistration by the same date.

Absentee Voter’s Applications are available at the 6th Ward Office until October 30th. You can pick-up an application or if you are not able to come to the office, we can mail it to you. Early voting is encouraged for anyone not eligible
to receive an Absent Voter’s Ballot.

Early voting is offered at various locations from Oct. 13-30. A government issued photo ID is required. The 6th Ward site is Whitney Young Library, 7901 King Dr.
A list of other locations is at the Ward Office.

I would like to add that if you need a Absentee Voter Application you can always download one at the Chicago Board of Elections. Print it off, fill it out, and then turn it in (especially via The US Postal Service). Especially important for those who have gone away to school.

A call for help to register voters in an email sent by the Chairman of the 6th Ward Young Democrats, Kari Steele:

The countdown is on! The deadline to register voters for this upcoming election is Oct. 7th. I’m trying to give it all I can for this final homestretch, and I could really use your help. The 6th Ward Young Democrats, Ald. Lyle's office, and other 6th ward community organizations, will be having various voter registration drives all month! WE need volunteers to help register voters. This e-mail is for all of you that have been cheering Obama on, but have been too busy to donate your time. If you can give us a couple of hours one day this month that could possibly have a huge impact on the outcome of this election. You don’t even have to be a Deputy Registrar to help us register voters! WE just need YOU and your positive “Obama” attitude! There are so many people in our community that still haven’t registered to vote. Please help us reach out to our unregistered citizens and let’s convince them to exercise their right to vote. Do it for BARACK!

If you would like to volunteer and donate your time please call the 6th Ward Office at 773-846-7006 (ask for Keith), OR simply respond to my e-mail. We are focusing on Tuesdays, Thursdays, & Saturdays; but just let us know your availability and we’ll work with you.

I hope you're not going to miss out what may very well be an important election next year. Not just with the Presidential election with our Senator Obama running for President this year, but with the situaion in Springfield and the opportunity to call for a state constitutional convention this is one not worth missing for the worth. Better hurry you have until the 8 of January to register to vote. The primary will be on February 5, 2007.
