### Voter Registration Options Expand as Election Day Approaches

As Election Day arrives this Tuesday, many eligible residents still have opportunities to register and vote. Over 20 states, along with Washington, D.C., provide same-day registration, allowing voters to register and cast their ballots simultaneously on Election Day. This convenience applies broadly but in some states is limited to presidential and vice-presidential races only.

Notably, North Dakota stands out as the only state where voter registration is unnecessary. In this state, eligible voters can participate in the election without any pre-registration formalities.

Voters generally need to present proof of residency and identification to register, and it is advisable to consult local election administrators for specific requirements. Vote.gov serves as a helpful resource for this purpose.

Increasing ease of access, Election Day registration could significantly impact voter turnout. According to the electoral reference site Ballotpedia, numerous territories support this provision, ensuring that residents can engage in the pivotal democratic process right up until the last moment.
