In order to make your voice heard, you must be registered to vote. Voter registration forms that are mailed or completed online must be received by Oct. 30. After Oct. 30, you must visit your local elections office or voting center during regular business hours and until 8 p.m. on Election Day to register to vote or update your registration and receive a ballot.
