Register To Vote

  National midterm elections will be held Nov. 4, 2014.  Thirty-six U.S. Senate seats and all 435 House of Representative seats are up for  election.  Thirty-six state governor seats are also up for election, as well as many other state executive and legislative positions.

  The mail-in registrations deadline for most states is October Currently, only 13 states ( not Indiana) allow same-day, in person registration, so be sure to register today!

If you believe you are already registered, it's good to make sure.  Nonpartisan, nonprofit websites like HeadCount.org and RocktheVote.org are easy ways to not only check you registration status but to register for the first time and learn of any new voting requirements your state may have implemented since you last voted.  The U.S. Election Assistance Commission at www.eac.gov can help you learn your state's requirements.

  If you are prevented from voting for any reason, call 1-866-OUR-Vote, the nonpartisan Election Protection Hotline run by the Lawyers Committee on Civil Rights.  You have a right to choose who gets to make laws and spend the country's money.  Don't Forget that absentee voting is available as well.

  For help determining which candidate shares you values, download the 2014 candidate checklist at www.unitedmethodistwomen.org/news/midterm-election-guide . And vote.
