Skip ahead to your state to see if your state offers same day registration.
What is same day registration?
Same day registration allows voters who have missed the registration deadline to register and vote at the same time during the early voting period and/or on Election Day. Almost every state that has same day registration in the early voting period also has same day registration on Election Day.
How does this work?
The process is simple. You show up in person at a designated place (most often the nearest polling place) with the ID needed to prove your identity and your residency. If you have a driver’s license or state ID card that shows your current address, bring that. If not, you should bring ONE photo ID that shows your name, and ONE document that shows your name and current address. Acceptable documents include a current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, residential lease, or any government document that shows your name and current address.
