A state-by-state guide to Election Day rules

WASHINGTON (TNND) — According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, you can register to vote on Election Day in 23 states and Washington, DC.

States that allow same-day registration could attract more voters, especially those who decide to participate at the last minute. With both campaigns aiming to persuade undecided voters, any registration could make the difference in this tight race.

North Carolina allows same-day voter registration during its early voting period; New York only allowed same-day voter registration on October 26 during its early voting period.

In Connecticut, Idaho, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Wyoming, same-day registration is only available on Election Day.

Same-day registration is available on Election Day and during early voting in Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington and Washington, DC

However, voters who register on the same day in Alaska and Rhode Island can only vote for president and vice president.

There is no voter registration in North Dakota. On election day, eligible voters must present an ID card with their legal name, current address and date of birth in order to vote.

Most other states require voters to register within a deadline, typically between eight and 30 days before Election Day.

According to the Bipartisan Policy Center, approximately 244 million Americans are eligible to vote, and more than 162 million people could vote if we see record turnout like we did in 2020. The 2020 election saw a record turnout of 66.6% of eligible voters.
