On this page, we have compiled a list of voter registration deadlines for all of the states. It is meant to be used as a general reference; for specific questions or to confirm the most accurate information, please refer to a state's own official elections website.

Note: Many states do not specify whether mail in registration applications need to be received or postmarked by the deadline. We assume that if it is not specified, the state intends for the registration to be received by this deadline.
