to Vote
A step-by-step guide to voter registration. It only takes a few minutes, and it's your right.
Check Your Registration
Before registering, check if you're already registered. Many states offer online voter registration lookup tools on their Secretary of State website.
Find Your State's Process
Each state has different registration rules. Select your state below to see specific deadlines, requirements, and registration options (online, by mail, or in person).
Gather Required Documents
Most states require a valid driver's license or state ID number. Some states also accept the last four digits of your Social Security number. Check your state's specific requirements.
Submit Your Registration
Register online (if your state offers it), fill out a mail-in form, or visit your local election office in person. Make sure to submit before your state's deadline.
Confirm Your Registration
After registering, verify your registration was processed. Most states let you check your status online. You should receive a voter registration card in the mail.
