Check Your Registration
Voting FAQ
Do I need to do anything before Election Day?
Before Election Day in November, it’s a good idea to ensure that your voter registration is up to date with your current address. Your registration may need to be updated to reflect the address where you are currently residing and not where you originally registered to vote. In many states, you can’t show up to the wrong polling place and expect to cast a ballot just because you’re registered — you must show up to the polling place assigned to you based on your address.
I’m not sure if I’m registered to vote — is it too late?
Don’t panic! You may still have time to get your registration in. Deadlines vary by state and can be anywhere from requiring paperwork one month before Elections to allowing voter registration on Election Day.
I’m registered, but haven’t voted in the last few elections. Should I be worried?
You may need to reregister so you should check your voter registration to make sure you are still registered and you are registered at your current address. If you do not appear as registered, go ahead and reregister!
What are the rules for first-time voters
When you register to vote or vote for the first time in a federal election (Presidential or Congressional elections) in your state, you must prove who you are.
