YOUR VOTE COUNTS
The most important aspect of a democracy is participation by the electorate. Those who vote shape our local, state and federal government by determining who we want to serve our best interests and the matters that we as women voters care about. Don’t let anyone tell you your vote doesn’t matter.
The voter registration form should be used to change your party enrollment from one party to another or to enroll for the first time in a party.
