Monday is last day to register to vote in general election
Secretary of State Cathy Cox has advised Georgians that Monday, Oct 7, is the last day citizens can register to be eligible to vote in the 2002 General Election scheduled for Tuesday, Nov 5. Eligible Georgia citizens who have not yet registered may do so in a variety of convenient ways. State driver's license facilities, county and municipal voter registration offices, WIC and DFACS offices and public libraries have voter registration applications available. On the Web, Georgians may download and print an application, or complete their application using an electronic template, on the Secretary of State's website at www.sos.state.ga.us/elections. Forms accessed via the Internet must be printed, signed and mailed to the Secretary of State, and all applications must be postmarked no later than Oct. 7. Secretary Cox, Georgia's chief elections official, said that statewide voter registration currently stands at 3,657,385. That is a modest decline from four years ago, when about 3.8 million were on the active voter roll at the time of the General Election. The reduction is mostly the result of list maintenance efforts that insure accurate names and addresses on the statewide database.
