EDITORIAL: Not too late to register

You still have time to register to vote.

Your franchise is a sacred right, one that is more than worth the time and effort it takes to research candidates and issues, and cast informed votes. This fall’s election provides you with another chance to select the representatives who’ll shape local, state and federal laws and policies. It’s a chance to replace those who plunder your tax dollars with people who’ll preserve them.

But you can’t participate in our democratic elections if you don’t first register.

All Nevadans can register to vote online with the secretary of state’s office at www.registertovotenv.gov. Eligible residents have until 11:59 p.m. Tuesday to register or change their registration online.

Valley residents can register to vote through Tuesday, in person, at the Election Department’s office on the first floor of the Clark County Government Center, or at the county’s Election Center at 965 Trade Drive, Suite A, in North Las Vegas. Both locations are open today from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Monday and Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Nevadans who already are registered to vote can access their polling day location information, early voting sites and their sample ballots at www.nvsos.gov/votersearch. Early voting starts Saturday for the Nov. 4 general election.

Vote to make your voice heard.
