On Tuesday, voters around the United States will head to the ballot box to cast their votes in the 2018 midterm elections. If you’re planning to vote, you might still have some lingering questions about voting policies. For example, you may want to know what happens if you forgot to register to vote. If you haven’t registered already, you may still be able to cast your ballot — it just depends on where you live.
Many states require residents to register before a certain deadline in order to be eligible to vote. However, a handful of states allow Election Day voter registration, meaning you can go to your polling place to register and vote at the same time. According to Vote.org, if you live in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Utah, Vermont, Washington, D. C., Wisconsin, or Wyoming, you are eligible for same-day voter registration.
If you live in Illinois, Maine, or Montana, you can also register to vote on Election Day, but you must head to a local election office to register prior to going to your polling place. If you live in one of these states, be sure to check local guidelines on Election Day registration.
