Not sure what you need to register?
WARNING: THIS INFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE PASSAGE OF THE SAVE ACT (H.R.22)
The SAVE Act would require proof of citizenship when you register to vote. An ID, Driver's License, or SSN Number WILL NOT be acceptable proof of citizenship unless accompanied by a birth certificate or passport and the names on each document must be identical. If you have changed your name for any reason--marriage, gender identity, adoption, etc.-- it will be difficult to register to vote, and in some cases impossible. The SAVE Act has passed the US House of Representatives, and is awaiting discussion in the senate. If you do not support the passage of the SAVE Act, CONTACT YOUR SENATOR TODAY. Click Here to find your senator and their policies.
Federally, you need:
-
To be a U.S. Citizen
-
To be 18+ years old on voting day*
-
To be a Resident of the state you are voting in, with an address
-
An ID, Driver's License, and/or a Social Security Number**
-
Not be currently incarcerated
