Registering to Vote is Probably The Best Thing You’ll Do Today in Cleveland

Today is National Voter Registration Day, which means that anyone 18 or older and who is legally able should make sure they are signed up to vote. Because it may seem simple, but if you’re not registered, then you can’t vote.

Yes, registering to vote does take a few minutes, and can seem like it takes away from other fun activities, but it can truly be a pretty painless process.

First, it’s important, especially here in Ohio where thousands have recently been purged from the voter rolls, that you confirm your status as a registered voter. If you’re no longer registered you now have more than a few options.

Cuyahoga County is getting into the action today with a whole slew of voting registration opportunities. Find the whole list of places, including all Cleveland Public Libraries, various apartment buildings, high schools and colleges, right here.

Or, easier for some, you can register and even update your address online at the Cuyahoga County website.

The deadline for eligibility to vote in the upcoming November election is Oct. 7.
