The expanded hours will allow residents extra time to complete voter registration applications. Satisfactory proof of identity and residency are required, and in order to qualify as a voter, a person must be a U.S. citizen at least 18 years of age and a resident in the municipality where the application is being presented. Also, a 17-year-old may apply if they will be 18 before the election on Nov. 7.
