Secretary Land's office to assist new citizens with voter registration

Representatives of Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land will offer new citizens the opportunity to register to vote during a naturalization ceremony in Sterling Heights. The ceremony is Friday, Feb. 26, at 10 a.m. at the Macedonia Center, 43133 Ryan Road. Approximately 220 people are expected to participate. "I congratulate America's newest countrymen for achieving this goal after all their hard work," Land said. "I'm proud to offer the opportunity to register to vote so that new citizens may take the next step in their journey. I encourage everyone to register to vote and then cast their ballots on Election Day." Land, who also serves as Michigan's chief election officer, will have a voter registration table on site for the convenience of the newly sworn citizens. People may also register to vote at their local clerk's office, a Secretary of State office or by mail. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Bureau, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is conducting the ceremony. Published: Thu, Feb 25, 2010
