With so many states now purging names from their voter databases, it's important to check you are still listed as registered and to ensure all personal info is correct.
Here's a quick and easy online tool:
https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/
PLEASE NOTE: At that website, you can check TWO ways:
(1) Fill out the form, which will take you directly to your voter info.
(2) If you don't want to provide an email address as required in #1, SCROLL DOWN to links to each state's election board, where you can navigate to your voter info.

Actually, everyone would be wise to check, now that Russians are breaching state voter databases. They need only change a digit or two in your zip code, birthdate, etc., and you may well be denied a ballot on Election Day.

(2,814 posts)I am often the only one asking for one, but I do it anyway. I lived in CO for many years and they sent paper ballots to everyone. Additionally, after working in IT for 23 years, I know that data is very vulnerable.

I was VERY glad for the change, but probably not as much as our poll workers, who had to deal with the inevitable computer problems while long lines of people waited.

(7,117 posts)Yeah, it IS annoying when you type in lots of info and then there's a SNAFU so it doesn't go through.
But I just entered my info, and it's working OK now.
Let's hope the problem was a momentary surge of site users.
