In fact, the vote on building a new library in Abilene is about the opportunities that will be available in this community to those very children who occupy so much of your time and energy. Voting for a new public library is declaring you want your children to have access to the full range of information a modern facility would make available for their education and enjoyment. It's an important enough occasion to call for a mothers' crusade. But you can't vote on Nov. 4 if you're not registered. Monday, Oct. 6, is the deadline to sign up at the Taylor County voter registration office on the first floor of the courthouse.
Requirements are minimal.
You must be at least 18 and be a resident of Abilene who has not been convicted of a felony or been declared mentally incompetent by a court of law. The easiest way to find out if you are already registered is to call the voter registration office at 674-1216. Forms that are postmarked by Oct. 6 will be accepted. Early voting for the Nov. 4 election begins Oct. 20 and runs through Oct. 31. Just remember, you can't vote if you're not registered.
