Voter registration has ended in most states - if you are in KS, ME, MD, MN, NV, NJ, OR, or WV, the last day is TODAY - early/absentee voting has already started in several states, and the last day of voter registration ANYWHERE in the US is October 22! Off your duff, voters! Tell everyone! Let’s do this! http://www.longdistancevoter.org/2012-election-deadlines

Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter @absenteeballots, and then don’t forget to request your OWN absentee ballot at http://www.longdistancevoter.org/absentee_ballots!
Et tu, West Virginia?!
Seems like just the other day I was scolding Maryland for updating its form less than 2 months before a huge election. Well, now it’s West Virginia’s turn. C'mon! Guys. Seriously, can it wait until AFTER a presidential election? You’re only hurting voters here.
Only 35 DAYS until Election 2012, voters and future voters! Voter registration deadlines start as early as THIS SATURDAY in AK, MS, RI, SC, TN, and WA! So if you haven’t registered yet, TODAY IS THE DAY! Click through to start. Head to www.longdistancevoter.org for any questions. Share with everyone!
Bad Maryland! Bad! No more changing your forms!
Well, no I feel kinda bad for being so hard on Virginia. Because, compared to Maryland, VA looks like the patron saint of timely updates to its forms!
WTH, MD?! You have a year-specific absentee ballot application. That means, every year, you *cough* *cough* totally unnecessarily *cough*…ahem, publish a new absentee ballot application. So don’t go changing that already yearly-changed form in the middle of an election!
We’ve had the 2012 general/primary election ballot application on our site ever since it was made available by Maryland. But today I get an email from the secretary of state’s office telling us that we have an outdated version of the form and should replace it immediately, which I did. Immediately. (There is nothing worse than providing an outdated version of a form.) But, lo, the new version was revised…when? Oh right. 9/2012. As in, this month. What.
Considering there is no “no earlier than” warning on submitting an absentee application, it’s safe to assume that some on-top-of-it voters submitted their applications beforeSeptember of this year…soooo…you gonna process those forms, MD? You betta!
40 DAYS to Election 2012! You know these posts are just going to get more and more insane and more and more targeted at individuals - like YOU, Ashley and Tom! - until November 6, so register to vote and request your absentee ballot today! Click through to start. Then we can all laugh at Ashley and Tom together. For the record, we would NEVER do that. Let’s all hug.
