New Year's Resolution: Voter Registration Update

In the wake of a new year, my staff and I will begin preparations for the 2014 election cycle which will be here before we know it! With careful preparation and thorough planning, we will once again pledge to fulfill our promise of delivering another cycle  transparent, trouble-free and secure elections with timely and accurate results. 

With that in mind, there is something that every citizen and currently registered voter can do to help us get off to the right start. As part of your new year’s resolution, we ask that you help us do our job better by ensuring that your voter registration is up-to-date.  The more accurate our file, the better able we are to serve the voters of Pasco County.  If you have moved, purchased a new home, changed your name or wish to change your party affiliation, NOW is the time to make those updates to your voter registration record. 

Additionally, with the increase in popularity of vote-by-mail, the signature file becomes even more important.  Anytime something is processed to a voter registration record, there is a comparison of the signature that is on file with our office.  Signatures change over time due to aging or medical conditions, and although we are not in the business of handwriting analysis, consistency is key.  NOW is the time to make sure an updated signature is on file with your voter registration record.   

In most cases, such as updating your signature, it’s as simple as completing a voter registration application, available on-line at pascovotes.com, at your local library, post office, or by calling our office 800-851-8754 to request one.  In the case of an address change, it can be accomplished via e-mail through our website pascovotes.com.  Party change requests and name changes must be submitted on a voter registration application or in writing which includes your signature, date of birth or voter registration number.
