Voting deadlines 2026: questions and answers

When is the 2026 midterm election?

Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

When is the voter registration deadline in my state?

It depends on the state, and on how you register: online, by mail and in person can close on different days. Each state's page shows its exact dates for the November 3, 2026 election, the hour when the state publishes one, and a link to the official election office.

Which states let you register and vote on the same day?

Vote Clock lists a same-day registration option in 23 states and territories: California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. North Dakota has no voter registration at all: bring a valid North Dakota ID and vote. The rules differ, and some options end before Election Day; each state's page has the dates and the official source.

Where do Vote Clock's dates come from?

Every deadline is sourced only from official government election offices, shown with a link to that office and the day it was last checked. No date comes from a news site or another voter website.
