What with election day around the corner, we must tell you that today is the last day to register to vote in the November election. You can print out or complete the registration form here, or simply grab one at your local office, public library, City/County offices, and the dreaded DMV.. Completed forms must be postmarked or delivered to the county elections office no later than 7 p.m. Oct. 18. (Psst, vote no on Prop L, the sit/lie ordinance. Or do. But, seriously, don't. It's cruel and could earn you a seat in the lower rungs of Hell.) [Appeal]

Want to vote in the June 8 gubernatorial primary election? Well, today (5/24) is the last day to register. That's right. Registration cards -- which you can obtain at any local election office, public library, post office, DMV or City Hall -- "must be submitted in person or through the mail." If you can't make it out, you can download the cards from the Secretary of State's site. Be sure to make your voice heard on June 8! It's your duty as an American citizen. (Speaking of which, once you register, jury duty will follow.) [via SF Appeal/BCN]
