The Livingston County Board of Elections is driving for voter registration in 2017. They already held one registration drive in February in Lima, Dansville, Livonia and Mount Morris. The BOE plans to set up voter registration drives in all of Livingston County’s 17 Town Halls before the General Election on Nov. 7, 2017. The goals are to register anyone who has not yet done so, answer any questions about the elections or the BOE and bring the services of the BOE more into the public spotlight.
