HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Secretary of State Betty Ireland says a mailing that encourages unmarried women to register to vote is well-intended but the registration deadline for Tuesday's primary has passed.

The group Women's Voices, Women Vote says the mailing was part of a national effort aimed at getting women to register to vote.

The mailing went to more than 16,000 unmarried women in West Virginia.

Ireland says the deadline for registering to vote in the primary was April 22.

But people who register after that date can vote in the November general election.

    In this Friday, May 9, 2008 picture, Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., speaks during a rally in the Memorial Quad on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, Ore.
