The Suffolk County Democratic Committee urges all who are eligible to register with the Board of Elections — and then, to be sure to go out to vote on Election Day. Just think: if all politics is local, then you can be sure your vote affects politics and government at every level in Suffolk County. To be legally eligible to vote, you must be an American citizen, a resident of Suffolk and 18 years of age or older. If you're registered, VOTE! If you are eligible and you are not registered, REGISTER TO VOTE! If you will be out of town or if you serve in the military and will not be able to vote in person on Election Day, ASK FOR AN ABSENTEE OR MILITARY BALLOT AND VOTE! If you have a family member that is not registered, give them a registration form. ENCOURAGE THEM TO REGISTER AND VOTE! |
U. S. Congressman Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill was right when he said, "All politics is local." Brookhaven Democratic leader Marsha Laufer agrees — she knows that strong local Democratic organizations are the way to win in Suffolk.

It comes down to this: in order to have a real stake in politics and government each of us must exercise our right to our vote. But, every Election Day, tens of thousands of eligible Suffolk voters stay home. By not voting, they give away their power and let others choose who will govern.
