With so many close presidential elections occurring in recent memory, voter registration is at an all time high. Registering to vote is easy and in most cases, all you have to do is go down to city hall and talk to the supervisor of elections to do what you need to do. However, if you are short on time or if you are registered in another state, there may be some extra work for you to do. Let’s take a look at some alternate places where you may be able to sign up to vote.

Although it is not in place everywhere, the Motor-Voter bill allowed many Department of Motor Vehicles offices to register you to vote when you picked up your license. If you have moved to Dallas from out of state, it is a good idea to get your driver’s license changed over as soon as you can. Check to see if you can change over your address there or if you have to make a separate trip to city hall to do so.

If you were already a registered voter from another state, you may have to fill out an extra form either online or in person at city hall. It is illegal to vote in more than one precinct in one election, and it will help the local voter rolls in your old home town if you let them know that you no longer live there. You will likely have to present two forms of identification, such as a driver’s license, birth certificate or passport, to move your voter registration over to your new address. Make sure you put your change in at least a month before the next election as most areas do not allow people to register to vote or change their voting address on the same day as the vote is actually being held
