      According to https://www.democracydocket.com/analysis/which-states-offer-same-day-voter-registration-and-why-does-it-matter/


      Washington, D.C. and most of the states with same-day registration — California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming — make the process easy and accessible. However, a handful present obstacles.

      Some states, including Michigan and Montana, don’t allow for same-day registration at polling places, only at other locations like city clerks’ offices or county election offices.

      North Carolina only permits same-day registration during the early voting period, and New York is even more restrictive — only allowing it during the first day of early voting on Oct. 26.

      New Hampshire has the opposite restriction — only offering Election Day registration.

      Nevada, Wisconsin, and Michigan* have same day registration through election day

      North Carolina has it only during early voting (ends Nov 2nd)

      The rest of the battle ground states do not (i.e Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia)

      Across the US, 23 states + DC have same day voter registration

      * not at the polls in Michigan but at the clerk’s office and then you can vote there after doing same day registration
