Election Day is still a ways away, but state-by-state registration deadlines will be rolling by throughout the month of October, and if you haven't registered—or have allowed your registration to lapse for whatever reason—you'll be sitting at home thinking about 2028 come November 5th. Registering only takes a minute—try it out at When We All Vote—but the impact of your vote could last a lifetime. Let's face it, this whole Democracy thing works best when we all do it together.

Created by Michelle Obama, When We All Vote is a leading national, nonpartisan initiative on a mission to change the culture around voting and to increase participation in each and every election by helping to close the race and age gap.
