It’s October—Have You Registered to Vote Yet?

October 1, 2014

It’s hard to believe we’re only a month out from Election Day! For midterm elections like these, where there are no presidential candidates keeping our attention focused on the race for the White House, it can be easy to forget there are still a lot of important elections happening this November. But that makes it even more important that your voice is heard!

On Tuesday, November 4, all 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives will be up for grabs along with 36 of the 100 Senate seats. And when you go to vote this November, many of you will also be electing your governors, state senators and representatives, mayors, city council members and other local officials.

Don’t worry—it’s not too late to register, but please do so soon. Deadlines to vote in November’s election are quickly approaching, with some as soon as this Saturday, October 4 (we’re looking at you, South Carolina and Nevada!). In many states, you can register online in just minutes through sites like registertovote.org.

For more information and to find your state’s registration deadline, use the handy map on this page to contact your state election office.

We encourage you to research your candidates’ positions and voting records on the issues that matter to you. There are many issues facing our country and your vote can make a difference this election, so please register today!
