Can you register to vote at the polls today? Super Tuesday states with same-day voter registration for the 2024 primaries
Washington — It’s Super Tuesday, your state is one of the 15 holding its primary or caucuses and you forgot to register to vote.
Is it too late?
In some states, yes, it’s too late. But if you live in one of about half of the states that allow same-day voter registration, proceed to your polling place.
Check below to see if your state allows you to register when you show up to vote.
Alabama
Alabama does not allow same-day voter registration. The state requires voters to register at least 15 days before an election.
Alaska
The Alaska Republican Party says it allows same-day voter registration for its caucuses. (The Democratic primary is April 6.) Voters should bring an ID with them. Polling sites may be different than usual elections, since the caucuses are run by the political party, not the state’s Division of Elections. Find caucus sites here.
Arkansas
Arkansas does not permit same-day voter registration. The deadline to register is 30 days before an election.
California
California allows same-day registration for those who missed the deadline to register by mail or online (both 15 days before an election). A driver’s license, California identification card number or the last four numbers on your Social Security card are needed to register. Find your polling place here.
Colorado
Colorado’s deadline to register by mail and online was eight days before the primary, but the state allows in-person voter registration through Election Day. All voters need to bring a valid ID. Check your polling location here.
Maine
Maine also allows same-day voter registration for those who did not submit an application by Feb. 13. Bring an acceptable proof of identification. Look up your polling place here.
Massachusetts
The deadline to register to vote in Massachusetts was 10 days before the primary.
Minnesota
Voters in Minnesota have to submit their online or mail applications at least 21 days before an election. But the state allows same-day voter registration if that deadline is missed. Voters who register on Election Day need to show proof of residence before casting a ballot. Find your polling place here.
North Carolina
North Carolina permits same-day voter registration during the early voting period, which ended March 2. Same-day registration on Election Day is not available for most voters.

Same-day registrants must provide proof of where they live. Look up your polling place here.

Kamala Harris will speak with “60 Minutes” tomorrow. Here’s what to know for the interview.
Voters will get the chance to hear from Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday as she presents her case for why she should be president in a “60 Minutes” election special.
For decades, “60 Minutes” has featured both Republican and Democratic nominees for presidents, but this year, former President Donald Trump backed out after previously indicating he would be on the show. Correspondent Scott Pelley, who’d been set to interview Trump, will instead travel to Arizona’s Maricopa County, home to more than 60% of Arizona’s voters and a critical battleground in a key swing state.
One thing is certain about the election; with the U.S. deeply involved in both the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, whoever wins on Nov. 5 will become a wartime president.
What Harris will discuss
Israel’s war started one year ago after Hamas launched a surprise terror attack and correspondent Bill Whitaker will discuss the ongoing war with Harris.
Harris will also discuss the economy, immigration, her record as vice president and the differences between herself and Trump.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz will also appear.
Whitaker joined the Democratic ticket on the campaign trail this week to gain insight into their platform’s priorities and values, and what the candidates believe voters should know.
Why Trump pulled out of the “60 Minutes” interview
Leading up to the candidate hour, Trump, through campaign spokespeople, was the first candidate to accept the “60 Minutes” request to be interviewed for the special, according to CBS News. It had been agreed that both candidates would receive equal time during the broadcast.
Trump last sat down with 60 Minutes in 2020. He walked out during the interview with Lesley Stahl. Trump referenced the incident on Tuesday night at a Milwaukee press conference when asked about his decision not to participate in the Oct. 7 “60 Minutes” election special.
“Well, right now, I went to – they came to me and would like me to do an interview, but first I want to get an apology, because the last time I did an interview with them, if you remember, they challenged me on the computer,” Trump said. “They said the ‘laptop from hell’ was from Russia, and I said it wasn’t from Russia. It was from Hunter, and I never got an apology, so I’m sort of waiting. I’d love to do ’60 Minutes.’ I do everything.”
The Republican nominee for president emphasized that he felt he was owed an apology from “60 Minutes.”
“Let’s see if they do it. I wouldn’t mind doing 60,” Trump continued. “I’ve done ’60 Minutes’ a lot.”
In a statement on Tuesday, Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung said that Trump’s team had not agreed to an interview.
“Fake News,” Cheung said in a post on X. “60 Minutes begged for an interview, even after they were caught lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop back in 2020. There were initial discussions, but nothing was ever scheduled or locked in. They also insisted on doing live fact checking, which is unprecedented.”
Previous Trump, Harris appearances on 60 Minutes
Trump previously sat down with “60 Minutes'” Mike Wallace in 1985, Pelley in 2015 and Lesley Stahl twice in 2016, first in July of that year and then again in November of 2016. He also spoke with Stahl again in 2018 and 2020.
Harris previously sat down with Whitaker last year. She also was interviewed by Norah O’Donnell, “CBS Evening News” anchor and “60 Minutes” contributing correspondent, in 2020.
