Getting voters registered ahead of elections to become more important in 2008

On January 1, 2008, election day registration will go into effect in Iowa.  Translation:  any voter will be able to register at the polls on election day assuming they can prove who they are and where they reside.  This year, we have increased our voter registration outreach by converting our elections van to a mobile voter registration van and by attending community events.  If your group, business, or organization is hosting an upcoming event, please consider giving us the opportunity to register voters at that event.

Every voter we register now could be one less voter in the voter registration line during the November 2008 election.

To see our setup, go to Voter Registration Outreach Photos.
