Each state has its own voter registration process and deadline. Some states allow same-day voter registration, while others offer preregistration, which lets 17-year-olds register if they will turn 18 by Election Day.

To vote, you need to register in every state except North Dakota. Registration deadlines vary by state and may be just a few weeks away, so check your local deadline. Remember that not all states offer online registration.
While North Dakota doesn’t require voter registration, states like Arkansas, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming do not have online registration available.
Make sure to find out when your local registration deadline is to ensure you can vote.
