Mark the Voter Registration Deadline and Election Dates for your state on your planning calendar well in advance.  Make this an annual priority.

Plan two non-partisan Voter Regisration Drives in your church.  Both drives should be planned for the three Sundays prior to the Voter Registration deadline dates, the first if your state has a primary and the second, the three Sundays prior to the General Election voter registration deadline.

Utilize our Bulletin Inserts or create your own from the resource links and materials provided on this site.  Download and print them early to announce the drives a few weeks in advance as an insert in the Sunday bulletin.  Utilizing multiple educational inserts well in advance prepares the hearts and minds of your congregation for the actual drives.

Make announcements from the pulpit in advance of and each Sunday during the drives, drawing attention to the Bulletin Inserts, how important our VOTES are, and the desire to achieve 100% voter registration and turnout amongst all voter eligible adults in the congregation. 

Utilize the Resources Links, quotes, CD's and Videos found on this site for sermon/promotion and announcement preparation.

Oregon Voter Registration

April 27th, 2010 is the last day Oregonians who are eligible to vote in the May 18th Oregon Primary may register to vote.

October 12th 2010 is the last day Oregonians who are eligible to vote in the November 2nd General Election may register to vote.

If you are under 18 years of age on May 18th or November 2nd, a non citizen, or incarcerated, you cannot vote in either the Primary or the General Election.

If you will be 18 on or before May 18th or November 2nd, you may register on or before April 25th or October 12th 2010 in order to vote in the election for which you qualify.

Voter Registration Cards can be obtained at any U.S. Post Office, Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) local office or County Court House.  If you are seeking to register your friends or your congregation*, larger quantities may be obtained at each County Court House and at the Office of the Secretary of State in Salem.

*Non-partisan Voter Registration in churches is entirely legal in every state in the nation.

Voters will have until 8 PM, Tuesday, May 18th for the Primary and November 2nd, for the 2010 General Election to turn in their BALLOTS.
