<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">National Voter Registration Day is a key time to register to vote, check your voter registration, or update your registration if your address or name has changed. In some states, the voter registration deadline<<a href="https://www.voteamerica.com/voter-registration-deadlines/">https://www.voteamerica.com/voter-registration-deadlines/</a>>
is in early October. Libraries can inform their communities by participating in National Voter Registration Day.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
