It's National Voter Registration Day. Here's How You Can Register To Vote.

Tuesday is National Voter Registration Day, and what better way to celebrate than to ensure your ability to vote?

You can do so by submitting a form online, by mail or in person, depending on where you live.

Registering To Vote Online

Currently, 23 states offer online voter registration. Five states -- Florida, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma and West Virginia -- and the District of Columbia have passed legislation to set up an online voter registration system, but those have not yet been implemented.

Check out this list to find your state's voter registration site, or head to the National Voter Registration Day website to complete the voter registration form.

Registering To Vote By Mail

The national mail voter registration form is available here. You can access it in seven different languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Tagalog and Vietnamese. The forms include specific instructions for completing the form state-by-state, including registration deadlines and the address to which you should send your form.

Registering To Vote In Person

Voting in person varies by state. Check out your local election office's website for forms and submission instructions and locations. Some states will allow you to register to vote at your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or through other public assistance agencies. Check this map to see if your state fits that description.

Other Tools

If you can't remember whether you've registered to vote, "Can I Vote?" is a good place to start. If you're having a hard time checking your registration status using that tool, contact your local election office.

If you're serving in the military, or are an overseas U.S. citizen, the Federal Voting Assistance Program is a good resource for registering to vote, acquiring an absentee ballot and more.

This interactive map by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission will take you straight to your state's voting guidelines website. You can also search for your local government's contact information here.
