Register to vote at your library Oct. 2

In honor of National Voter Registration Day, the League of Women Voters of Metro St. Louis is holding the area’s fourth Library Registration Day on Saturday, Oct. 2.

League members will be at more than 45 area libraries from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. that day to help area residents register to vote, update their addresses or change their names. Sites include 10 city, 17 county and nine consortium libraries in St. Louis plus three city and six county libraries in St. Charles and two in Warren County.

“Voting is an important part of our democratic system that gives citizens a voice in our government,” said Catherine Stenger, the League’s voter registration chair. “While some states have automatic or same-day registration, Missourians must be registered at least four weeks before an election to be eligible to vote.”

More information on Missouri’s election laws are on the League website, www.lwvstl.org.
