Last Day to Register!
Today is the last day to register to vote in the Nov. 4 presidential election! The City Clerk's office normally stays open late to register voters on the last day.
Click here for information on voting eligibility from the City of Plainfield's web site (second item).
Plainfield also has three City Council seats up for a vote, though only one candidate is opposed, by a write-in challenger who will not appear on the ballot.
The League of Women Voters of Plainfield will hold its annual forum next week. Here is what I sent to the media as secretary of the League, which I joined before starting the blog:
PLAINFIELD- The League of Women Voters of Plainfield invites all city residents to attend its annual Candidates’ Forum.
The forum will take place from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 22 in the Anne Louise Davis Room of the Plainfield Public Library, 800 Park Ave., Plainfield.
There are three City Council seats on the Nov. 4 ballot. Due to the withdrawal of Republican Deborah Dowe for the Citywide At-large seat, all the candidates on the ballot are Democrats. They are Annie McWilliams, running for the Citywide At-Large seat; Adrian Mapp, seeking the Third Ward seat; and Councilman William Reid, a January appointee who is running for the balance of an unexpired First Ward term through Dec. 31, 2010. Mapp and McWilliams are seeking full four-year terms.
City resident Brenda Gilbert has publicly announced a write-in campaign for the Third Ward seat and has agreed to take part in the forum.
Candidates’ statements will be included in an advertisement paid for by the League, to be published in advance of the forum. The event will follow the LWV format of an opening statement, responses to written questions from the audience and a closing statement. As required by LWV rules, an outside moderator will conduct the forum.
The League of Women Voters of Plainfield was formed in 1920 with the goal of registering and educating voters. A membership drive led by new President Herb Green is underway and all are welcome to join. Call (908) 756-9682 for more information.
