Don't miss the chance

Voting deadline: Registration ends Friday

Millions of people cast their ballots this week, trying to help their candidate of choice come out a winner.

They weren't participating in a primary. They were not voting absentee.

They were weighing in on whether Taylor Hicks or Katharine McPhee should be the next "American Idol".

In recent years, surveys have shown people are more enthusiastic about picking their favorite singer on what has become the country's most popular television show than who should run their government. There's even been a movie make fun of the fact.

While we're don't mind people putting so much enthusiasm into American Idol, we hope they will put the same enthusiasm into the voting process.

There is a lot more at stake than a singer getting a record contract.

Decisions Cullman County residents will make on June 6 will impact how their roads will be maintained, what kind of water system they will have and how their schools are run.

On the state level, their decisions will impact whether taxes are raised or cut, how much money will be allocated for schools or who will be making important court decisions.

There is no excuse for a resident 18 years of age and above not voting. The deadline to register to vote in the primary elections is tomorrow.

Those who will be out of town or will be working a long shift on the day of voting still have until June 1 to get an absentee ballot.
