Election Day Registration

Election Day Registration (EDR) allows eligible voters to register and cast their ballots on the same day, rather than beforehand. It streamlines the voting process by reducing barriers for eligible voters who may have missed registration deadlines or need to update their information. EDR typically requires proof of identity and residence at the polling site. This process helps increase voter participation, especially for those new to an area or who face logistical challenges with registration. Overall, EDR makes voting more accessible and encourages higher civic engagement by combining registration and voting into one step on Election Day.
