TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami) - The November Election is right around the corner and time is running out if you haven't registered to vote.
The registration deadline is Monday, October 6, 2014.

To register to vote, residents must:
- be 18 years or older (pre-registration begins at 16);
- be a U.S. citizen;
- be a permanent resident of Miami-Dade County or Broward County..
"Registering to vote is the first step to 'Be Election Ready' and have a voice in important issues affecting you and your community," stated Supervisor of Elections Penelope Townsley.
