Voter Registration Deadline Nears

Is your voter registration up to date? Do you wish to change your political party affiliation or make any other changes to your voter registration? If so, you need to complete and submit your voter registration application no later than 9 p.m. on Tuesday, October 14.

You must be registered to vote to cast a ballot in the 2014 Gubernatorial General Election on November 4, or during early voting from October 23 through 30. If you are already registered to vote, you do not need to register again.

Registering to vote requires that you must be a US citizen and be at least 18 years of age on or before November 4, 2014. You must be registered at the Maryland address where you live, so that your ballot will list the correct candidates for your area.

To register or confirm that your registration is up to date, call 240.777.VOTE, visit the state’s online voter registration system at http://elections.state.md.us, download a paper voter registration form at www.777vote.org or visit the Montgomery County Board of Elections, in person, at 18753 N. Frederick Avenue, Suite 210, in Gaithersburg.

The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; on Saturday, October 11, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on Tuesday, October 14, from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Applications are also available at county libraries, regional service centers, all offices of the Montgomery County Health and Human Services, the State of Maryland Department of Motor Vehicles, and US Post Offices.
