Love Your Vote Day: Embracing the Disenfranchised Citizen

[Paschall]

People who are interested in registering voters should be aware that the Federal Elections Commission (http://www.fec.gov) has now published a standard form—-called the National Mail Voter Registration Form--that can be used by citizens in almost all 50 states* to register to vote.

The form is included with a short, 33-page guide that provides specific filing instructions for each state.

General information on the form, and links to the guide and form itself in PDF, can be found at http://www.fec.gov/votregis/vr.htm.

Download it, make photocopies of the registration form, and you're in business to help get out the vote!! You can help people register no matter what state* they live in!!

* New Hampshire town and city clerks will accept this application only as a request for their own mail-in absentee voter registration form. North Dakota does not have voter registration. Wyoming cannot accept this form under state law.

ON EDIT: This post is, of course, in response to the story by Teresa on Love Your Vote Day published here at DU http://www.democraticunderground.com/articles/04/02/14_love.html
