Mail in voter registrations must be postmarked by October 15; registrations close at motor vehicle offices and state agencies on October 15. In person registration at county election offices ends at 6 pm October 22; this includes changes such as updating an address. Registered voters can make requests until 4 pm October 27 for early-voting ballots to be mailed. November 1 is the deadline for in-person early voting at county election offices.

STROKE SYMPTOMS

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking

three simple questions:

S - Ask the individual to SMILE

T - Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE

(Coherently - i.e. It is sunny out today.)

R - Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 911

immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

NOTE: Another "sign" of stroke: Ask the person to "stick" out

their tongue. If the tongue is "crooked", if it goes to one side or

the other, that is also an indication of stroke.
