Don't fear, however, if you miss the Oct. 22 deadline. There is another option called conditional voter registration: simply go to your local county election office, satellite location or polling place between Oct. 23 and Election Day, Nov. 6, register to vote and ask for a provisional ballot.

Once your county elections office validates your registration information, your provisional ballot will be counted. For more information on conditional voter registration, click here.
