Registration on the same day

If you have not registered to vote but would like to vote on Tuesday, you have the option to register on the same day.

Same-day registration allows people who are not already registered or are registered in one city but have moved to another city to register and vote on Election Day, according to the secretary of state's office.

On Election Day, the registration location will be different from your polling place on the same day.

  • Be a US citizen
  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Be a real resident of the city you sign up in
  • If you are convicted of a crime, you must have completed pretrial detention

First-time voters will need a copy of a current and valid photo ID showing the voter's name and address, or a copy of a current utility bill, bank bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or government document showing the name and the address of the voter.
