Register to Vote -- The National Voter Registration Act
The National Mail Voter Registration Form (formulario nacional de inscripción de votantes) can be used to register to vote, report a change of name, report a change of address or register with a political party. For more information about registering to vote, contact your state election office. Read our Frequently Asked Questions for more information about the national form.
The national form also contains voter registration rules and regulations for each state and territory.
Every two years, EAC reports to Congress on the impact of NVRA on the administration of Federal elections and provides information to states on their responsibilities under that law. Go here to view NVRA reports. Also, go here to view Commission decisions regarding the NVRA, as well as related correspondence.
As of July 31, 2008, the following states have requested a change to their state instructions: Louisiana, Michigan and Nevada. The Commission has not yet approved these requests.
