I'm turning 18 in July. Do I have to wait until then to register to vote?

Question

I want to vote in the presidential elections in November.

Answer 1

Yes. July is plenty of time to get registered and be able to vote in November.

Answer 2

Probably

Answer 3

Some states allow you to register as long as you'll be 18 by the next election.

However, if you wait until July, you'll be registered by November. It's usually a process that takes a couple of weeks.

Answer 4

I believe you have to register only like 6 weeks before the general. Check with your registrar of voters locally. NH allows you to register if you will be 18 on election day and you may register up to 10 days before the election. You need to check your state regs.

Answer 5

It really depends on your state's laws.   In the state of Georgia, you can register to vote at age 17 1/2.  In other states, you can vote in the primary at 17 if you will be 18 be the general election.  Check with your Secretary of State's office.  They can better define the regulations.

Answer 6

Most states require you to be 18 to register. Some states allow you to register before then if you'll be 18 before the election. You'd have to check your state's law.

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

You'll still have plenty of time to do it if it's in July. When I registered in 2004 I think I did it like only a couple months prior online, my card came in the mail pretty quickly.

Answer 9

You have to wait to register, but if you do it in July that will be plenty of time before the November election.
