EAC Chair Calls on Voters to Prepare and Confirm

On September 8, the United States Election Assistance Commission published a memo for immediate release to call on voters to prepare and confirm before the upcoming election in November. If you’re of age and eligible to vote, make sure you are registered. September 2008 has been declared National Voter Registration Month and all new, as well as returning voters should get ready to participate in the election.

If you have registered for the first time, confirm that you are a registered voter and if you’re a returning voter, verify that your registration is current and valid.

There are several important steps recommended by the EAC:

• Know the registration deadline
• Follow registration instructions carefully
• Those who move should update their registration
• Confirm registration with elections office
