Maps showing voter registration options and deadlines for 2024 election.

Americans across the United States have the opportunity to register to vote in the upcoming 2024 elections this November. If you haven’t registered yet, don’t worry, as there is still time to sign up in all states and the District of Columbia. However, it’s crucial to do so soon as the deadlines are fast approaching, with some states having them as early as October.

Thankfully, registering to vote has never been easier, with more convenient options available than ever before. Election law contributor David Becker shared on “CBS Mornings” that the process of registration has been streamlined nationwide. You can easily check your registration status by visiting vote.gov.

In addition to the traditional in-person registration method, many states now offer online registration, same-day voter registration, and automatic voter registration. Same-day voter registration allows individuals to register and vote on the same day, either during early voting periods or even on Election Day in some states.

Automatic voter registration is offered in about half of the states. This system automatically registers individuals to vote when they interact with specific government agencies, such as the department of motor vehicles, to obtain a driver’s license or ID. Those who prefer not to be automatically registered can choose to opt out of the process.

In the map provided below, you can see the registration options available in each state and the corresponding deadlines to register in person, by mail, or online:

Along with advance voter registration, nearly half of the states, along with the District of Columbia, allow same-day registration on Election Day. Some states have same-day registration periods that end before Election Day but still offer same-day registration on the actual election day itself.
