Voter registration deadlines vary widely across the U.S., and some are only days away, while in other states, people have another month to register before the upcoming midterm elections. The midterms are November 3 this year. While still more than a month away, some people have only days to register to vote if they haven't already, depending on the state they live in.
Voter registration rules vary widely by state, with some requiring people to complete registration in person, while in others it can be done online. Since states—not the federal government—run their elections, the dates and deadlines differ across the country. In some states, people can register up until Election Day.
In others, the process must be completed around a month in advance. Nationally, all 435 House of Representatives are up for election this year, as well as 33 Senate seats and 39 governorships. The voter registration deadlines and the website at which voters can register for every state are listed below.
Registration must be done on paper. They can request a form or learn more here. Note: If there are fewer than 15 days until the election, voters must complete a Same-Day Voter Registration process and request their ballot in person.
Note: If registration occurs fewer than eight days before Election Day, people must register in person. Note: If the application is submitted on or after October 19, it won't take effect until after the November election, so at that point voters must register in person or through Same-Day Voter Registration. Note: The paper voter registration deadline is October 26.
If this deadline is missed, same-day voter registration is available at voter service centers. Note: The online registration is available until up to 11 days before the election. Note: Online registration closes 27 days before the election, and in order to register, voters must do so at the office of the election authority.
