The presidential elections in the United States will take place on Tuesday, November 5. The main protagonists would be Joe Biden and Donald Trumponce their parties, Democrats and Republicans, respectively, confirm them between July and August.
As the country waits for the national conventions, politicians will find themselves in the first presidential debate this June 27. With a view to the elections, many are wondering How to know if you are registered to vote and what is the deadline to register?.
The United States government web portal indicates that All those who want to vote in the next elections can review the electoral registration information online. There you must confirm your name, address, political party and place where the vote is cast. This process is done in three steps:
Likewise, it details that the electoral register must be reviewed every time there is an election, because each state has its own way of keeping its voter registration lists up to date. For example, some delete the data of those who no longer live in the town and others classify them as inactive.
State governments generally decide that someone is inactive when you do not respond to postcards or letters from election officials either did not vote in the last two federal general elections (one intermediate and one presidential). “If your registration turns out to be inactive, you may need to take additional steps before voting. If you do not do so, you may have to cast a provisional vote,” the government clarifies.
Although the federal government recommends reviewing records before each election, there are citizens who should not have problems when casting their vote. If you did not change your name or address and if you ran in the last election, you will have no problem.
However, there are a number of issues that can cause a person to no longer appear in a state’s records. For example, If you move within the same state, you must update your voter registration with the new address. The same situation occurs with name changes, since it must keep updated driver’s license or state ID cardwhatever is used to pay.
In any case, it is necessary to review each of the data, given that there are no guarantees that those who remain registered will remain registered. They move to another state during primary or general election dates presidential. Additionally, some regions require that a person live there at least 30 days before an election.
“If you don’t have time to register in your new state, before the presidential or general primary election, “The state where you lived must allow you to vote in person or by absentee ballot.”says the federal government. The so-called “absentee vote” serves for those who have an excuse to justify themfor example those who are on vacation or those who study outside their place of residence.
Each state is the one that decides what is the deadline for a citizen to register. “In all states, except North Dakota, it is necessary to register as a voter before voting,” they point out. Some close the process a month before and others let it be done even on election day. In any case, you must look at the corresponding voters office.
