Primaries take place on the second Tuesday of August, while the deadline occurs the first Monday of October. This is generally the period where most of the registrations are received by the County Clerk's office. "Registration Deadline" refers to the last two days in which residents can register to vote, therefore, registration numbers drop noticeably because of the short time-frame.
