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 Ohio is Oct. 9.

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

• Download a voter registration form from the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections website or request a form by calling (216) 443-3298. Once you've filled out the form, mail it to 2925 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44115.
• If you'd prefer to fill out a form in person, stop by your local library or check the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections' website for other locations.
• You can also check your voter registration online to make sure your address and other information is up-to-date.
