Voter Information for REALTORS

How to register to vote

The Suburban REALTORS® Alliance encourages REALTORS® to register to vote. If you are a first time voter, or have recently moved or changed your name, you may need to register or re-register to vote. The decisions made by elected officials affect our lives every day, from the property taxes we pay to the roads we drive on to the schools our children attend. That's why it's important to participate in the political process and help choose your elected officials by exercising your right to vote. To register to vote click here.
