The eagerly awaited 2016 General Election on Tuesday, Nov. 8, is closing in fast.

Those who have not registered to vote in the election, but want to be sure they get their say in this historic event, have until Monday, Oct. 10, to register.

Registration can be accomplished online by visiting the county recorder’s website at recorder.maricopa.gov/elections.

The Town of Fountain Hills does have the registration forms that need to be mailed after completion. Visit the Town Hall second floor customer service desk.

The forms must be postmarked no later than Monday to be valid. The U.S. Post Office is closed on Monday for Columbus Day, so drop the form early enough.

Early ballots for those on the permanent early voting list (PEV) will be dropped in the mailbox on Wednesday, Oct. 12, and arrive at the voter’s home a day or two later.

Those not yet on the PEV and want to request an early ballot have until Friday, Oct. 28, to make the request. That also may be done at the recorder’s website.
