The earliest deadline in any state to register to vote in the Nov. 8 general election is Oct. 9. About 20 states allow voters to both register and vote on Election Day while the rest halt registration sometime in the weeks or days prior.

Some states have different registration deadlines depending on whether you plan to register online, by mail or in person. The deadlines on this page represent the latest possible deadline, but you can find more detailed information on your state’s registration process using the links below.
