Americans still have a chance to register to vote ahead of the 2024 elections in November.
Some states have set their voter registration deadlines as early as today, Friday, Oct. 4, while others offer same-day voter registration as late as Election Day, or Nov. 5.
Same-day registration allows Americans to cast their ballot on the same day they register to vote, whether that be during early voting periods or in some states on Election Day. Americans can also opt for the traditional method of registering to vote in person, and many states now offer mail-in, online, and automatic voter registration.
Automatic registration means individuals are automatically registered to vote when they visit government agencies, like the Department of Motor Vehicles, and obtain a driver’s license or ID.
Voters can check their registration status by visiting vote.gov.
