New Citizens: Still time to register
If you are a Massachusetts resident sworn in as a US Citizen after the voter registration deadline of October 17, you can still register to vote. Take your naturalization papers to the town clerk in the town where you live by 4PM on Monday, November 5, and you can register and be eligible to vote on November 6.
Other states have different requirements. If you do not live in Massachusetts, check with your local election official or with the nearest office of the League of Women Voters (http://www.lwv.org/get-involved/local-leagues).
