I think i can vote in the next presidential election! But not sure...

[alfa147x]

The problem is about a month ago I was talking to some one about how excited I am to vote but she told me that i cant because Ill be 17 when i register is this true?

This is my first time voting so I have no idea how, do I just show up at the place my neighborhood is assigned?

Ill be 18 in October
i live in Georgia

Thanks!

you have to register first, most places require you to register 30 days before the election
some states have a shorter time

you should be able to register as long as your birthday is before Nov. 4 2008

you register at your county court house or the DMV and some counties have other locations, but the county courthouse is the sure thing
look up voter registrar in the phone book under your county govt. section

You'll only be allowed to vote if it's for Ron Paul
