i fucking hate maps like these because it never paints an accurate fucking picture:
MONTANA HAS SAME DAY VOTER REGISTRATION.
do you understand how hard we have fought to keep that? so like. fucking stop it. should you get registered beforehand and have a plan to vote? absolutely. but if you miss the "deadline" YOU CAN STILL REGISTER TO VOTE AT THE ELECTIONS OFFICE AND ON ELECTION DAY. like i'm sorry you live in a stupid ass state that doesn't have same day registration, but montana does. so fucking deal with it.
Oh look, it seems like there's a Republican-led movement to purge voter rolls in the lead-up to the election! It's almost as if your vote matters and they don't want you to vote! Anyway, I whipped up a quick map (based on this) that shows when the voter registration deadline is in each state. There are a few deadlines coming up in the next week or so.
If you live in a state that regularly purges voter rolls for infrequent voters (the orange ones in the first map), or if you moved recently, it's good to check if you're still registered to vote.
Vote.org makes it super easy to check your registration: https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/
Just put in your address and DOB and they'll tell you whether you're registered. (And they give you a quick link to register online if it turns out that you're not! Only the 9 states in white on my map don't have online registration, and for those they provide instructions on how to do it via mail or in person.)
So yeah, give yourself peace of mind -- do a quick check. :)
