EDITORIAL
Better get registered

Slowly but surely it begins to dawn on folks that we are in the middle of an election campaign.

Unfortunately, for some, the recognition will come too slowly. By the time they realize it's election time, it will be too late to register to take part in this year's balloting.

Registration deadline for the primary election is Thursday, Aug. 19. Oct. 4 is the deadline for registration for the general election.

Some folks may think they don't need to bother until the general election since that is where all the action is, including the voting for president. But that would be a mistake.

A number of races may be, or will be, settled in the primary, including the Honolulu mayor and prosecutor's races.

So get out there, register and be ready for the big campaign season ahead.
