As Election Day nears, officials in Pulaski County are pushing for voices to be heard with a voter registration event Tuesday.

In both states, residents must be registered by Monday, Oct. 7, to participate in this year's general election, including choosing the next president and vice president. As the voting period approaches, the Gazette will publish complete information about local polling times and places.

To mark National Voter Registration Day, Lt. Gov. Austin Davis was on hand for the opening of a satellite election office that Philadelphia City Commissioners say will make voting more accessible for city residents.

Community College of Philadelphia organizers want to equip and empower young voters on National Voter Registration Day.
