Although more Americans are expected to vote November 4th than ever before in history, many still have not Registered, while others still need an Absentee Ballot. For either of these critical needs, citizens throughout the nation can beat their state's application deadline (see table below) by going to www.StateDemocracy.org.
In addition to these official applications for every state, this completely FREE one-stop public service portal also offers a host of other voter tools, including:
* A Polling Place Locator
* Links to state and local Election Boards
* Election Day Requirements (concerning voting hours, identification, write-ins)
* Links to lawmakers on the federal level and in all 50 states
Remember, even if you think you're already registered to vote, you must update your registration information if you moved since last voting.
StateDemocracy.org is also offering free widgets that other websites can install to help their own visitors register to vote, get absentee ballots or find their local polling place.
Since 2001, hundreds of thousands of citizens have benefited from the StateDemocracy Foundation by using the host of online civic engagement tools that further its mission of "Delivering Democracy to your Desktop!"
