US citizen? Not registered to vote yet? You can register at http://www.YourVoteMatters.org. I think you need to register about a month before the elections in order to be able to vote, so do it _soon_! There's only a few days left!

Yes, I realize that Massachusetts, where I live, is not a swing state. Not everyone reading me is in MA. And vote anyway!

Registration deadline is October 13th, as far as I am aware.

Ok. I only know that it's 20 days in advance for primaries and elections, and 10 for local-type things - in Mass.

And, especially when considering people who are sending things through the mail, ~a month seems safer. Because, if your registration form is late, I think you're screwed. I'm not certain about that, however.

I was also told by the local state something or other, when I called about changing what I was registered _as_, that I needed to do it by Oct 2nd. Not 13th.

That's funny. You'd think it'd take less time to change a little part for an existing voter than it would to add a new one.

Indeed. I would think the same. Appears to not be the case, strangely!
