one last chance to register,
and that is TONIGHT from 8

According to law registra-
ton must be closed thirty
days before election; within d
week a list of those eligible to

There is one subject upon
which all candidates agree
and that is: all citizens should
exercise their right to vote,
but in order to be able to do
SO they must first register.
