Earlier today we posted about James Boggie and Amy Mahler who are great examples of student civic engagement, and it reminded us that we have important elections coming up on November 2nd.
Registering to vote is one of those seemingly small things that are easy to put off, so you should be aware that you need to be registered to vote 20 days prior to any election to be eligible.
In other words, the cutoff to vote in this year’s elections, including gubernatorial, congressional, local and some important ballot questions is October 13th, AKA NEXT WEDNESDAY.
How do you register? Well, it’s easy. For one thing, there’s tons of good info here and here.
Our four favorite ways?
- Using this easy mail-in voter registration form - Just follow instructions and print
- Go to the City of Boston Elections Department, 2nd floor of Boston City Hall (or any city or town elections office) - They’ll walk you through it
- At the Registry of Motor Vehicles when you renew your license
AND
4. Come visit us at ONEin3 HQ on the 9th floor of Boston City Hall in the Boston Redevelopment Authority offices!
Oh, and once you’re registered, here’s a guide to your elected officials and how to find your polling place AND here’s a guide to the candidates and questions you’ll be voting on come November 2nd.
