Tens of thousands of young adults have registered at Vote.org since President Biden left the race. It's fast, it's easy, it's painless - and it also should make young adults feel empowered.
A handful of states do NOT allow online voter registration, including Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming. If you live in one of those states, you may have to fill out a form and mail it in or register in person. Here's the form for Texas: https://vrapp.sos.state.tx.us/index.asp
Incidentally, if North Dakota can do away with voter registration, all states can. Certainly all states can offer same day voter registration, now available in 22 states and Washington, D.C. If your state is behind, get active on changing the law. Your vote is sacred, and putting up roadblocks to voting is undemocratic. Speak up!
