Deadlines have a way of focusing our attention. Whether it’s submitting an assignment, paying a bill, or making sure everything is in order before the end of the day, we’re used to acting when the clock runs out. But some deadlines carry more weight than others.

Today is the last day to register to vote online or by mail for the June 2nd primary. It’s a small step, but one that ensures you can participate in decisions that shape your community, your state, and your future.

So before the day ends, take a moment. Check your registration status. Make sure your information is up to date. And if you’re not registered, now is the time to do it.
