Here’s how to register to vote in every U.S. state

'Cause we don't just talk the talk!

Includes checking your status, too!


Fusion, by David Matthews :

No matter how you feel about the 2016 election—whether you’re #WithHer or hoping to Make America Great Again—you can’t do much to calm your nerves unless you’re registered to vote.

The election in November might be the most important election of your lifetime, and voter registration drives by both parties—plus some third-party efforts, like those of Planned Parenthood—have been signing up millions of new voters to take part in the historic showdown between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

But voting isn’t as simple as showing up on Election Day. Each state handles voter registration differently, and some states’ processes are simpler than others. To make it easier for you, we’ve put together this state-by-state breakdown of how to register to vote. (Since each state also has its own restrictions on who can and can’t vote, you will need to find out if you meet the legal requirements to vote in your state before signing up.)

I believe that was just overturned by a court ruling.

Maybe Kansas is like Alabama?

Our State Chief Justice told our county probate judges in charge of marrying folks to ignore same sex marriage ruling by US Supreme Court. Looks like he's about to get removed from office (again).
