In the United States, in order to vote in a federal election, an individual must be a citizen of the United States, be at least 18 years old on or before Election Day, register to vote in their state, and provide proof of identity at the polling place if required by state law. Some states also have additional requirements such as residency in the state for a certain period of time before the election. Voter registration deadlines vary by state but generally range from 10-30 days before an election. Additionally, individuals who have been convicted of a felony may have restrictions on their voting rights depending on the state they reside in.
