This election is very important, as so many have fought for our right to vote.  Here is some essential information for you:   If you have not yet registered to vote, please do so before Tuesday, Oct 9

Some in the community have said that the reason they don’t vote is because they don’t want to serve on Jury Duty. Please note, if you have a Driver's License, you are already eligible for Jury Duty. Voting does nothing to affect those odds. So, please exercise your right to vote.
