SHREVEPORT, LA (By: Tom Pace, Executive Editor, Talk of the Town) Mobile Voter Registration begins at 1pm on Monday, July 6th, 2009. With the 2010 federal elections coming up next year, local residents need to be registered to cast their ballots.

Ernie Roberson, Caddo Registrar of Voters, announced today that the his office will begin its 2009 schedule of mobile voter registration throughout Caddo Parish this week.

The sites will all be located at Shreve Memorial Library locations and citizens can call 226-6891 for a location near them in the upcoming weeks.

“This annual drive will encourage citizens to register to vote or update their address or change their party affiliation if they are registered in Caddo,” said Roberson.

Roberson added, “Using Shreve Memorial Library locations will allow us to be accessible to all neighborhoods in the parish,” adding that party primaries next year will mean some voters may wish to consider their party affiliation.

“It was confusing to a lot of voters last year and the federal elections in 2010 will include party primaries. I encourage voters to call the Registrar’s office at 226-6891 or use the Secretary of State’s website to check their address and party info.

We can mail the change form to the voter or they can come by our mobile registration site and pick it up, ” Roberson added. The website address is www.sos.louisiana.gov.
