But voting can be a complex process, and it can be difficult to know where to start. This voter guide will provide you with everything you need to know about voting, from registration to casting your ballot.

Who Can Vote?

In the United States, you must be 18 years old and a citizen of the United States to vote.

There are some exceptions to this rule. If you are a convicted felon, you may not be able to vote in some states. And if you have been declared mentally incompetent, you may not be able to vote in any state.

How to Register to Vote

To register to vote, you need to fill out a voter registration form.

You can get a voter registration form from your local election office, library, or community center.

You can also register to vote online in some states.

Once you have filled out the voter registration form, you need to return it to your local election office.

The deadline to register to vote varies from state to state, so it is important to check your state's requirements.

How to Vote

There are several ways to vote:

• In person: You can vote in person at your polling place on Election Day.
• Absentee ballot: You can request an absentee ballot if you will be unable to vote in person on Election Day.
• Mail-in ballot: You can request a mail-in ballot if you prefer to vote from the comfort of your own home.
• Early voting: You can vote early in person at your local election office or other designated early voting location.

The deadline to request an absentee or mail-in ballot varies from state to state, so it is important to check your state's requirements.

What to Bring to the Polls

When you go to the polls on Election Day, you will need to bring:

• Your voter registration card
• A valid photo ID in some states

If you do not have a photo ID, you may be able to cast a provisional ballot.

Provisional ballots are counted after Election Day, once election officials have verified your identity.

What to Expect at the Polls

When you arrive at the polls, you will need to check in with a poll worker.

The poll worker will ask you for your voter registration card and your photo ID (if required).

Once you have checked in, you will be given a ballot.

You can then take your ballot to a voting booth and cast your vote.

Once you have cast your vote, you will need to return your ballot to the poll worker.

What Happens After You Vote

After you vote, your ballot will be counted.

The results of the election will be announced after all of the ballots have been counted.

Voting is a Right and a Responsibility

Voting is one of the most important rights and responsibilities of citizens in a democracy.

It is the way we choose the people who will represent us in government and make decisions that will affect our lives.

Make sure you are registered to vote and that you know how to vote in your state.

Your vote is your voice. Make it count.
