Commission discusses voter‑registration drives ahead of May election
Summary
Commissioners discussed organizing voter‑registration events at the high school, farmer's market and library before the May election and noted the registration deadline is 30 days prior to election day.
The commission revisited voter‑registration outreach in advance of the May election, noting the statutory deadline typically falls 30 days before an election. Commissioners recalled prior registration drives at the farmer’s market and library that used city devices and county materials to help residents register or update addresses.
A commissioner said she may organize a registration event at the high school to capture soon‑to‑turn‑18 students, and staff said the commission can coordinate with the county to obtain FAQ brochures and online links for volunteers. No final plan was adopted; commissioners agreed to check availability and bandwidth for volunteers over the coming weeks.
