The United States general election will be held in less than 40 days.

Early voting in Oklahoma begins Oct. 30, but in Pennsylvania and Minnesota, elections began last week.

Here’s everything you need to know to prepare to vote in November.

When is the last day to register to vote? Check your voter registration status

The last day to register to vote is Oct. 11 if you want to vote in the Nov. 5 general election, which includes the presidential election and several state and local elections. This date is also the last day to verify that information is accurate or active, as many have been removed from the voter rolls due to inactivity.

Voters can register online using the Oklahoma voter portal at https://okvoterportal.okelections.gov/.

However, if you wish to register on paper or register in person, you can complete your voter registration at your county board of elections office or by mailing the form to your county board of elections.
