‘National Register To Vote’ Day


by: AJ News

In 2008, 6 million Americans didn’t vote because they missed a registration deadline or didn’t know how to register.

For the first time this year, on Tuesday, Sept. 25, volunteers and organizations from all over the country will “hit the streets” for National Voter Registration Day.

Among those participating will be volunteers from The Center, located at 2066 W. Apache Trail, No. 104 in Apache Junction.

According to Emma Schofield, community resource navigator, volunteers will be stationed at a table just in front of the office  on the east side of the facility who will assist people in registering to vote. 

The table will be in front of the office from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., but Schofield said that people can also come before and after those hours and be accomodated in the office.‘National Register To Vote’ Day.

Already-registered voters who are interested in getting on the Early Ballot list can also fill out the request form which will be submitted to Pinal County by the Center.

This single day of  nationally coordinated volunteer, technology and media efforts will create widespread awareness of voter registration opportunities, allowing the effort to reach tens of thousands of people.

Leading the effort are several large national organizations including League of Women Voters, Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance Education Fund, Bus Federation Civic Fund, Fair Elections Legal Network, Nonprofit Vote, and Voto Latino.

Those who don’t get registered on Register to Vote Day can still register to vote in the upcoming Nov. 6  General Election until the deadline of Oct. 9. Go to www.pinalcountyaz.gov to register online.
