the deadline is extended to the next day that is not a Sunday or a
legal holiday. Click here to see the deadlines for upcoming elections.

If you choose to register to vote using the U.S. Mail, you may send
your properly completed and signed registration application to the
office of a county board of elections or the Secretary of State's
Office. Your application must be postmarked by the voter registration
deadline, the 30th day before the election, in order to be eligible to
vote in that election.

office within 10 days after you completed the form, or by the voter
registration deadline, whichever is earlier.
