Voter Registration Grace Period Begins

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Jan 7, 2010 3:40PM

Miss out on Tuesday's voter registration deadline for the February 2 primaries? Don't worry, hope is not lost yet. The grace period to register is in effect until January 26 so you can still get signed up to vote, you'll just have a few limitations put on you. Instead of early voting or even voting at your normal polling place, you'll have to vote at the office where you register. But it's worth it: besides a slew of local races, every statewide office is up for grabs in 2010 and will be on this ballot. [ABC 7]
