PUTNEY — On Tuesday, Sept. 25, the League of Women Voters will join thousands of volunteers from more than 100 organizations in a nationwide field effort to register voters where they are - on their way to work, on campus, in the community, out shopping, in nursing homes, and online.
By doing so, we're helping to ensure that all Americans have the opportunity to register and participate in this year's election. The deadline to register to vote in Vermont is Oct. 31.
The League of Women Voters of Southeast Vermont will register voters at the main Brattleboro post office on Main Street from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 25, to engage new voters before the November election.
Over the summer, the League registered eligible voters at the Brattleboro Farmers' Market, as well as at the post office. The League will also visit local nursing and rehabilitation facilities to register new voters and update voter information.
A lot of attention is paid to candidates' biographies and campaign-trail quips. But the real stakes of this election are much higher.
This election is about all of us standing up for the things that matter most to us and to our families. Whether we care most about college affordability, job opportunities, America's place in the world, or other important issues, we all deserve the chance to weigh in and make our opinions count. That means registering and voting.
Registered voters will be able to pick up absentee ballots or vote in Town Clerks' offices around the state after Oct. 1. Election day is Tuesday, Nov. 6.
Democracy is not a spectator sport. Vote!
