If you haven't yet registered to vote for the Nov. 4 presidential election, you can still do so with relative ease during the next five days.

The last day to register to vote without having to appear in person at the Election Department Office is Saturday, Oct. 4. In addition to the Election Department Office, located at 965 Trade Drive, Suite A, people can register at any city clerk’s office, all Department of Motor Vehicles locations and any state welfare or WIC office.

Mail-in registration forms can be found at all U.S. Postal Service locations and libraries. Postage is pre-paid but all forms must be postmarked no later than the deadline.

Field registrars will be at all Las Vegas area shopping malls on Oct. 4 during regular mall hours to make registering easy. If that isn’t easy enough, people can go to the Clark County Election Department’s Web site to request an application sent to them by mail.

After the Oct. 4 deadline, people can still register to vote by going to the Election Department Office or the first floor of the Clark County Government Center, located at 500 S. Grand Central Parkway, until Tuesday, Oct. 14. These locations will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 5; 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Oct. 6 through Oct. 9; and 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Oct. 10 through Oct. 14.
