As the November 2004 elections approach, United States citizens are faced with many tough decisions. In addition to voting for the Office of the President on November 2, other elected positions are on the ballot for various local, state, and federal offices. All citizens over the age of 18 have the right and privilege to vote for their elected officials; we should take pride and feel honored to have this enormous power.

In preparation for the elections, the Community Relations Committee of UJC MetroWest will be continually sharing important information with the voters of the community. As the races continue to take shape, continue to visit www.ujcnj.org/vote2004 for the latest information.

Below are some key dates and voter registration links that can be useful for you, your family, and your associates. Please share this information with people you know to make sure every eligible voter has the opportunity to cast a vote on November 2.
