Missed the voter registration deadline? Here's what you can still do

For the November 3, 2026 election. Every date from an official government election office.

Forgot to register to vote? You may still be able to vote. A passed deadline is not always the end: many states have a later way to register, and some let you register and vote on Election Day. Choose your state to see what is still open.

Three things anyone can do today

  1. Check whether you're already registered. Many people are and don't know it. Check at vote.gov.
  2. Ask your election office. It has the final word on your options. Find your state or local election office.
  3. Register now for the next election. Then you're set before the next deadline. Every state's registration deadlines.

States with a later way to register

These options come after each state's first registration deadline. A date that has passed is shown in gray. Each state's page links every date to its official source.

If your state isn't listed, our verified dates show one registration deadline for it. Rules differ for military and overseas voters. How we source and verify dates.
