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.

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
