Future Voter

Think You’re Too Young to Register?

Depending on your state, you may be able to pre-register to vote if you're at least 16 years old! That means you can fill out a voter registration form before you turn 18, and you’ll be automatically registered to vote on your 18th birthday. You may even be able to vote in your primary elections if you'll be 18 by the general election - find out your state’s rules and pre-register below!
