If you have not registered to vote, but want to vote on Tuesday, you have the option of same-day registration.
Same-day registration allows for people who are not yet registered or who are registered in one town, but have moved to another town to register and vote on Election Day, according to the Office of the Secretary of the State.
For Election Day, the same-day registration location will be different than your polling location.
