The last day to register to vote before the 2008 Presidential General Election is Tuesday, October 7, 2008.

Grace Period Registration is an extension of the period of time for a voter to register to vote, or to update their registration information. This “Grace Period” Registration extends registration from the normal close of registration up through the 14th day before the election. Once registered, this voter may cast a ballot during this “Grace Period” at the election authority’s office or at a location specifically designated for this purpose by the election authority, or by mail, at the discretion of the election authority.

Grace period registration will be available in the Board of Elections from Wednesday, October 8, 2008 until Wednesday, October 21, 2008. Registration will resume on Thursday, November 6, 2008.
