Yup, finally the election is about upon us. Come November 5 there will be no more campaign commercials unless some winners want to talk shit.

October 6 is the final day to register to vote. Below are some FAQ's about updating registration. You can register online at http://elect.ky.gov/register.htm or email me at Tim@kftc.org and I can get you a card.

November 4 polls are open from 6 a.m. -6 p.m.
Go to https://cdcbp.ky.gov/VICWeb/index.jsp to find out where you vote and how you are registered.

Q: May I change my political party affiliation?

A: You may change your political party affiliation at any time on or before December 31 to remain eligible to vote in the following primary election. You simply need to fill out a new voter registration card and return it to your county clerk by the December 31 deadline.
Q: Am I eligible to vote in an election if I move?

A: To be eligible to vote refer to the appropriate situation below:

* You move within the county. Notify the county clerk of your new address or update your driver's license. The county clerk will tell you the location of your new voting precinct. If you do not do this before election day, you must go to the voting precinct of your new address to vote and update your voter registration address.
* You move outside the county more than 28 days before election day: Update your voter registration address with the new county clerk or renew your driver's license in the new county at least 29 days before the election. If you do not notify the county clerk in either your old county or your new county of residence 29 days prior to an election, you are not eligible to vote in either county.
* You move outside the county less than 28 days before the election: You may vote in your previous county of residence for this election, but must register to vote in your new county of residence for future elections.
* You temporarily reside outside of Kentucky, but are eligible to vote in Kentucky. You may vote by absentee ballot. Please see section regarding absentee ballots.

Q: Is it necessary for me to notify the county clerk when I change my name?

A: Yes, it is very important that the county clerk has the most up-to-date information on you as possible. There are three ways for you to update your voter registration when you change your name: renew or update your driver's license; notify the county clerk by writing or visiting their office; or by filling out a new voter registration card.

Speaking of voting... Ace Weekly has the BEST OF LEX 2008 poll running in their paper this month. Everyone should fill it out to help promote all our friends at Brooklyn, Al's, Stella's, and any other places that I'm forgetting to mention. Also, they have a best doggy daycare category and Dogtown would love to beat Uptown Hounds!
