Are You Registered To Vote?

Tomorrow, October 5th, is the last day to register to vote in the upcoming election via mail or onlineAfter that, you will need to register (in person) at the King County Elections Office in Tukwila--and who wants to travel out there?--by October 26th.  If you live in King County, and you don't know the status of your registration, you can check here (or call 206.296.VOTE).

There are some very important positions and measures up for a vote this year, and Washington needs a substantial voter turnout.  For me, Referendum 71--expanding the rights and responsibilities of Washington domestic partnerships*--needs to pass.  This is a big step forward for LGBT equality if it passes; it would be three steps backward if it is rejected by the voters.

Please register and/or ensure that your name and address are current...and most importantly, VOTE!
