Voter deadline near
Monday, October 16, 2006 | No comments posted.
If you want to vote in the November election, but you're not registered yet, you only have a few short days to do so.
According to a press release from The League of Women Voters of Coos County, those currently not registered, but who intend on voting, need to do so by Tuesday.
Eligible voters must be at least 18 years old on election day, a resident of Oregon, and a citizen of the United States. Registration cards are available at the Coos County Courthouse in Coquille, 250 N. Baxter St.; North Bend Annex, 1985 McPherson St; Oregon DMV offices, libraries, post offices and at Pony Village Mall political campaign headquarters.
Ballots will be mailed to registered voters beginning Friday. Changes of address, residence, name, or political affiliation can be completed through election day.
The League of Women Voters encourages every eligible person to register to vote, learn about the issues and candidates, and to get ballots completed and in to county clerks offices by Nov. 7. Post marks do not count. Ballots must be received by an elections office, or a designated site, by 8 p.m. on Nov. 7.
A list of sites will be included with the ballot mailing.
On Oct. 24, the Voters' Guide of the League of Women Voters of Oregon Education Fund will be published in The World. The voters' guide contains information about the state wide candidates, U.S. Congressional Candidates, and ballot measures. Candidates' answers to relevant question are in their own words. The facts of the ballot measures are listed. Reasons for voting “Yes” or “No” are given by the supporters and opponents of the measures. The Voters' Guides are also available at libraries, medical clinics, and coffee shops. They also can be accessed at the Leagues' Web site: www.lwvor.org/votersguide.htm.
In addition, voters' pamphlets sent out by the Oregon Secretary of State's Office are being mailed out this week.
In a press release, the state office said this weeks pamphlet focuses on ballot measures that voters will be addressing in this year's election. A separate pamphlet on candidates will be sent out next week, between Oct. 18 and 20.
The Voters' Pamphlet, first launched in 1903, is one of the oldest and most formidable political traditions in Oregon. This year's measures pamphlet is the largest since 2000, at 172 pages.
