The 2024 elections in the United States will be held on November 5th,<\/strong> and if you are not yet registered to vote or updated your voter registration, the Ross Pendergraft Library can help.\u00a0 We have voter registration forms available on the first floor, at the RESEARCH HELP DESK.<\/p>\n

To get registered and ready to perform your civic duty, simply grab a form, fill it out, slap a stamp on it, and drop it off at the nearest post office. \u00a0The campus post office is located across from Tucker Coliseum, next to Doc Bryan.\u00a0 You can also turn it in directly to the County Clerk\u2019s office<\/strong><\/a> at the Pope County courthouse.<\/p>\n

Your voter registration must be turned in or postmarked by October 7th<\/strong>.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0If you are just changing your current registration to a new address, it must be received no later than 4 days prior to the next election.<\/p>\n

If you are a college student and registered in your hometown in another county or state, you can transfer your registration to your college address.\u00a0 Just fill out the voter registration form with your campus current address and fill out the portion at the bottom indicating your former address.\u00a0 You must keep your address CURRENT on your registration, so don\u2019t forget to fill out another voter registration form if you reside in another county or state after graduation.\u00a0 You can also vote absentee<\/a> <\/strong>for your home state or county.<\/p>\n

Remember, filling out the form and mailing it off does not mean you are automatically registered.\u00a0 Before considering yourself a registered voter, you must receive an acknowledgment of your registration from the county clerk\u2013usually this arrives in the mail as a card a few weeks after you have mailed or dropped off the form.<\/p>\n

Not sure if you are registered?\u00a0 Can\u2019t remember your polling place?\u00a0 Want to know what\u2019s on the ballot in YOUR local elections?\u00a0 You can find your registration status, voting locations, and sample ballots at \u00a0https:\/\/www.voterview.ar-nova.org\/voterview\/<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
