The National Mail Voter Registration Form is available at the U.S. Election Assistance Commission website (USEAC) and can be used to register to vote in almost all states, except North Dakota, Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Learners residing in the aforementioned states or territories must request a voter registration form from their state election office.

Learners also can register by mail, online, or in-person at their local election offices, the listing for which is available at the USEAC website.
