As the general election on Nov. 7 draws closer, we are pleased to provide basic information on how to register and vote. Please use the web links for more complete information.
Registering to vote in person is quick and easy when you bring your valid state driver's license or non-driver ID, provided it shows the address that you are claiming as your voting domicile. A birth certificate (or copy), or passport will prove your citizenship. You may register in person at the town or city clerk's office up to 10 days prior to an election or on Election Day at the polling place.
Here are some voting options:
• Vote in your hometown on Election Day.
• Vote using an absentee ballot. Register ahead of time or request an absentee registration affidavit and voter form from your town clerk. A list of New Hampshire clerks can be found at www.sos.nh.gov/clerks.htm
• If you live out of state and want information about state and congressional candidates, go to http://www.Politics1.com. Please note that this site includes political content.
• You can also visit www.rockthevote.com/home.php if you are an out-of-state student choosing to vote at home and want to find out how to register online.
• Vote in Durham if you are prepared to declare it as your domicile. Check out the Town Clerk website at www.ci.durham.nh.us/ and click on "Register to Vote." Or call at (603) 868-5577. This office is located on 15 Newmarket Road. The direct link is http://www.ci.durham.nh.us/DEPARTMENTS/town_clerk/voting.html
If you are a residence hall student and wish to claim Durham as your domicile, ask your hall director for a form that you can use which indicates your hall address.
If you cannot provide proof of residence and/or proof of citizenship, you will be asked to sign a sworn affidavit attesting under oath your domicile or citizenship.
On WEDNESDAY, OCT. 18 from 11:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. in the MUB FOOD COURT, Durham election officials will be on hand to register students who declare their domicile in Durham. There will also be information available about absentee ballots.
