Can I vote in the District of Columbia?
To register and vote in the District of Columbia, you must be:
- a citizen of the United States
- at least 18 years old by Election Day

Once I register, do I have to register again for the next election?
As long as you vote at least once every four years, do not move, or change your name, you do not have to re-register.
It is still suggested that you check the status of your registration rather than assume.
Is there a deadline for voter registration?
Registration deadlines are 30 days prior to any election.
