NEW HAVEN — Yale-New Haven Hospital and the National Council of Jewish Women will act as co-hosts for a voter registration drive between 7:30-9 a.m. and 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Sept. 9, in the hospital’s Atrium at the York Street entrance. Patients, visitors and employees may complete the voter registration card at the drive.
People can also fill out a voter registration card in person at their local town or city hall; the deadline for this "face-to-face" registration is October 28.
Also, people who are registered voters but have moved since the last election can use the voter registration card at the drive to change their address. The voter registration card must be post-marked 14 days before the election, or by October 21, to participate in the Nov. 4 election.
Employees and visitors who go to the drive can also learn how to obtain absentee ballots for use should they plan to be away on Election Day. Absentee ballots can be mailed or picked up 30 days before an election at each local Registrar of Voters office. They are due no later then 8 p.m. Election Day.
For more information or for voter registration cards, call the YNHH department of community and government relations, (203) 688-2503.
