The Rockdale-Newton League of Women Voters will kick off its first voter registration drive tomorrow at the Newton County Library on Floyd Street.

The event, which will run from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., will allow persons who aren't currently registered to vote in any of the upcoming city elections in November.

In order to register, you must meet the following criteria: You must be a citizen of the United States, be a legal resident of Newton County, be at least 17 and a half years old to register and 18 to vote, not be serving for conviction of a felony and must not have been found mentally incompetent by a judge.

The Rockdale-Newton League of Women Voters will be holding another event in Rockdale County later this month for Rockdale County residents.

Allene Eatman, president of the League, can be reached at (678) 413-9520 with any questions or contact Elizabeth Partridge-Godfrey at (678) 625-4728.
