VOTER RESOURCES
Are you (still) registered to vote?
Do you know where your polling place is? CanIVote.org is a website created by the National Association of
Secretaries of State to answer voting questions.
Note that the following states are not
represented on the website: Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey,
New York, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
You can find your state's election
office by going to
www.vote411.org and clicking on your state.
This website, created by
The League of Women Voters, also has information about
everything from absentee ballots to voting machines, some in Spanish.
VOTER IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Electionline.org has a chart which is the "holy grail" of state voter ID laws.
It's right here.
Also, the election law blog at Ohio State's Moritz College of
Law maintains the absolutely latest updates on state voter ID
litigation cases. Their chart is here.
This table
also includes registration deadlines, polling place hours, and links to more information by state.

VOTER REGISTRATION DATABASES
Voter Registration Database Systems by State
The current federal legislation (HAVA) requires that all states create
and maintain a statewide voter registration
database. Some states have developed their systems in-house, others are
replacing all county systems with a true VR and election management system,
and others are lagging behind.
The website
focuses on states and their efforts to create their systems, as well as
vendors that are entering the
business and trying to track the Gordian knot relationship between vendors
and subcontractors (i.e. many main vendors compete but sub-contract to the
same firms).
