 LAWCHEK® has researched State Homepages and State Election Offices
to ascertain which states possess Election Webpages that feature election contact
information and election results. We've rated each state based upon whether or not it
offers the following: an Election Webpage, Voter Registration Forms online, election
results posted on the site, and election results posted live the night of the election.
Out of the 50 State Homepages that LAWCHEK® evaluated, all but one (Wisconsin) possess Election Webpages; twenty-five (Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virgina) do not offer Voter Registration Forms online; four (Connecticut, Louisiana, Tennessee, Virginia) do not post election results on their site at this time; and twenty-four (Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Northa Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming) will not be posting results live the night of the election. Of significant interest, none of the 50 states offer voting online at this time, but several are looking into it and hope to implement pilot programs for future elections. Florida, however, does offer Voter Registration online. LAWCHEK® has provided links for each participating state that allow a person to obtain a National Mail Voter Registration Form. This form allows a person to register to vote from anywhere in the United States. At the present time, Mississippi will accept the NMVR form as a registration to vote for federal offices only, New Hampshire will accept the NMVR form only as a request for town and city mail-in absentee voter registration forms, North Dakota does not have voter registration, and Wyoming by law, cannot accept the NMVR form unless State law is changed. Election Poll locations are decided by local election officials. Contact your county election official or the Federal Election Commission below to determine the location of your specific polling site. FEDERAL ELECTION
