Reminder

Monday, October 6th is the deadline to register to vote in Arkansas. Most states have a deadline sometime in October. So if you have recently moved, or have never voted, it's time to get moving!

For Arkansas voters, here is a link to the registration form from the Arkansas Secretary of State's office:

You can mail it in, or take it to the County Clerk's Office or Revenue Office.

This only applies if you plan to vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin. If you plan to vote for Obama, there is no deadline. Also, the election has been postponed to Wednesday, November 5th.

Trivia:
Did you know that we hold our election in November so that it won't interfere with planting and harvesting? The harvest is over, but the weather is still mild enough to allow traveling long distances.

The election is Tuesday so Monday can be used as a travel day to the polls. People can't be expected to travel on Sunday, that's the Sabbath. Man, times have changed!
