The process
Register in one sitting
Fill in your details once. Every step below picks them up, so you never type your address twice.
Continue where you left off.
Step 0. Your details
Fill this in once and every step below picks it up. We never ask for a license number or the last four of a Social Security number.
Step 1. Check your registration
States purge their rolls and people move. Confirm you are still listed at your current address. This takes 30 seconds.
States purge their rolls and people move. Confirm you are still listed at your current address, on your state's own lookup. Your details are below, ready to copy.
Step 2. Register to vote
You will confirm your date of birth and ID inside the official form. Most states finish this online in about two minutes.
You register with your state directly. You will confirm your date of birth and ID on the state's own form. Your details are below, ready to copy.
You cannot register yet, but you can pledge now. The official pledge tool texts you on your 18th birthday, so registering is the first thing you do as an adult.
External tool. The pledge form below is run by Vote.org, a nonpartisan nonprofit, not by ICNA CSJ or your state. What you type in it goes to Vote.org.
Step 3. Ballot by mail
Optional. Traveling, working a double shift, or homebound on November 3? Request your ballot by mail now rather than in the last week.
Step 4. Polling place
Polling sites move between elections and get consolidated late. Look yours up now, and check it again the week before.
- Valid ID. Rules differ by state, and a few accept none at all.
- The address and the hours. Confirm both the week before.
- Your sample ballot. Read it at home, down to the local races.
Step 5. Election reminders
Registering once is not the finish line. Put the dates that decide it in the calendar you actually check, and we will write to you before each one.
Deadlines vary by state – check yours.

Know your deadline
Registration closes before Election Day in most states, and in some of them it closes a full month early.
Election Day
Tuesday, November 3, 2026
Polls open and close on state schedules. Your registration deadline is almost certainly sooner, so check it today and put it on a calendar.

Know your rights
Your rights at the polls
If you are challenged at the table, told your ID is wrong, or sent away before you vote, you still have options. Read them before you walk in, and ask for a provisional ballot rather than leaving.
Read your rightsHave a past conviction? You may already be able to vote.
Most states give the right to vote back once a sentence is finished. Up to 19 million Americans with past convictions can vote – they just may not know it. Check your state in two minutes.

Before you go
What you'll need
Valid ID
ID rules differ by state, and a few accept none at all. Check what yours asks for so nobody turns you away at the table.
Polling location
Confirm the address and the hours the week before. Sites get consolidated and moved, sometimes late.
Sample ballot
Read it at home first. The races below the top of the ticket decide your schools, your courts, and your police budget.
Keep it on your calendar
Stay on it
Registering once is not the finish line. Get a reminder before your state's deadline and again before Election Day, so a busy week does not cost you your vote.
