Same-Day Voter Registration

If you are not registered to vote, you can register and vote on Tuesday. This is only the second time DC has allowed same-day registration — the first time was on Sept. 14 for the primary election.

Here is what you need to bring to your polling place on Tuesday–if you are not already registered — according to BOEE:

“To register to vote during early voting or on Election Day, you must bring a driver’s license, bank statement, utility bill, government check or paycheck, or other government document showing your current name and address and cast a special ballot subject to verification by the Board.”
