Salisbury University logo

A number of local candidates are expected to show up on the campus of Salisbury University today.

They will be joined by students in the University’s Red Square.

The candidates include Republican Addie Eckardt in District 37 for the state senate and Democratic candidate Judy Davis for District 38C in the House of Delegates.  

In addition, incumbent Wicomico County Executive Rick Pollitt and County council candidate John Cannon are also expected to be on hand.

The event will take place between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and will be open to the public.

Delaware

The deadline for registering to vote in Delaware is looming.

But there’s still time with October 11th the final date for registering and changing your address or party affiliation.

Of course, if you have voted at least once in the state no matter how long ago you are still registered.

In Sussex County officials there say that they will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

If you do miss the October 11th deadline you will not be able to vote unlike in Maryland.

Virginia

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginians have less than two weeks remaining to register to vote in next month's general election.

The deadline to register is Oct. 14. The Nov. 4 ballot features the U.S. Senate race between Democratic Sen. Mark Warner and Republican Ed Gillespie, as well as congressional races and some local races.

Virginians can register at their local voter registrar's office, at Department of Motor Vehicles offices or on the state Department of Elections website at www.elections.virginia.gov .

To complete online registration, applicants must provide a driver's license or DMV identification card number. Applicants who don't have a DMV number can still fill out the application online but must print and return the completed form to the registrar's office.
