Voter registration deadline is Oct. 6

If you want to help decide the future direction of your state and country, you have to be a registered voter.

The deadline to register for the Nov. 4 election is Monday, Oct. 6.

From an editorial in The Mercury:

There are many opinions about the upcoming election and many reasons to vote. But, there is only one opportunity, and Pennsylvania voters can not exercise that opportunity unless they are registered.

Monday is the deadline. Don't miss your chance.
