States Offering Same-Day Voter Registration This Election Day

North Dakota residents have some luck, as voter registration is not required to cast a vote, meaning eligible voters can visit the polls without any prior requirements. On the other hand, states like Alaska and Rhode Island only allow same-day registration for presidential elections.

Additionally, another reason you shouldn’t panic about your voter’s registration status is that most states have automatic registration. Residents are automatically registered to vote when interacting with certain government agencies, such as visiting the Department of Motor Vehicles. If an individual prefers not to be registered, they have a choice to opt-out.

Check the list below to see states offering same-day registration:

• Alaska
• California
• Colorado
