If you haven’t yet registered to vote, get it off your to-do list now.

Today is National Voter Registration Day, and thousands of local, state and national organizations have mobilized to make sure millions of people don’t miss the chance to cast their vote in this year’s elections.

Six million people didn’t vote in the 2008 elections because they either did not know how to register or because they missed the voter registration deadline.

The voter registration deadline for Massachusetts is Oct. 17.

All United States citizens are eligible to vote if they will be at least 18 years of age as of the next election.

Here’s information on how you can register in time for the Nov. 6 elections:

If you are a U.S. Citizen, a Massachusetts resident, and you will be 18 years old on or before election day, you may register to vote by contacting your local Town Clerk's office
150 Concord Street
Framingham, MA 01702
