Register to Vote Before the Upcoming Election

September 24, 2018 in Guest Columns

In order to increase REALTOR® participation and influence in the political process, the Kansas City Regional Association of REALTORS® (KCRAR) has partnered with the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) to launch a REALTOR® voter registration drive.

“While nearly 90 percent of KCRAR members are registered to vote, we can do better,” KCRAR President Andrea Sheridan said. “Instead of just choosing to sit on the sidelines, REALTORS® can and should join together to vote and fight for a future that works for us: a growing economy, healthy real estate market and strong protection of private property rights.”

While you may already be registered to vote, KCRAR strongly encourages you to take one of the following actions to check or update your voter registration status prior to the upcoming 2018 General Election:

If you know that you are not registered to vote and would like to register, it has never been easier. Just click here and register. It’s that simple. You must register to vote no later than Oct. 10 in Missouri and Oct. 16 in Kansas to vote in the 2018 General Election.

If you are registered to vote, congratulations! We would appreciate your help in keeping our files up to date by clicking here and confirming your voter registration status. Often, we have only a business address on file, which explains why we may not be able to match you up with your state’s voter file.

You can also click here to find your polling place, obtain an absentee ballot and find out other important information related to upcoming elections. Please watch for an upcoming 2018 Kansas City REALTORS® Voter Guide in mid-October with more information on the candidates and issues we are supporting during the 2018 General Election.

“KCRAR is proud to join with the National Association of REALTORS® on this important civic effort to increase the number of registered voters and voter participation across the country,” KCRAR and Heartland MLS CEO Kipp Cooper said. “This election year, please exercise your right to vote and help us craft a better and stronger future for all in the Kansas City metro area.”
