Deadline for registering to vote is Mon., Oct. 6, 2008

Eligible citizens who have not registered to vote in the November 4, 2008, election have just a few days left to do so.

The deadline to register is Monday, October 6, 2008.

Adair County Court Clerk Sheila Blair's office will accept registrations until the close of business, 4:00pmCT, on that date.

Voters may register today, Thursday, October 2, 2008, Friday, October 3, and Monday, October 6, 2008, from 8:30am until 4:00pm in the Clerk's Office in the Adair Annex, Public Square, Downtown Columbia, kY. The phone number is (270) 384-2801.



Mail-in registrations require a postmark of October 2, 2008.

Registrationcards can be obtained over the internet at Ky.gov.register.

"I encourage all citizens who have not already done so, to register to vote today," stated Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson. "We hope to see everyone exercising their constitutional right to vote on November 4, 2008."Minors who are 17 years old but will be 18 years old on or before Election Day are eligible to register and entitled to vote in the upcoming election.

Additionally, Secretary Grayson reminded voters that if they have moved recently, they need to update their voter registration so that they are allowed to vote on election day. In particular, if a voter has moved from one county to another prior to the voter registration books closing and he or she does not update his or her voter registration, that voter will not be allowed to vote in the general election.

If citizens are unsure whether they have registered to vote or uncertain as to where they will vote, they can view all of that information online through the Voter Information Center (VIC).

The VIC will tell voters where they are registered to vote, the location of their polling site, and their political affiliation. It also provides links to elected representatives and driving directions from the voter's home to his or her polling location. VIC can be accessed at www.vote.ky.gov/vic.

To obtain a list of county clerks and other voter registration sites in your area, contact the Kentucky State Board of Elections at (502) 573-7100 or via the web at www.elect.ky.gov.
