In Missouri, today (Wednesday) is the last day to register to vote in the Nov. 2 general election.
The Nov. 2 election is a big one with statewide propositions and elected offices on the ballot including U.S. Senate.
To register to vote you have to be a U.S. citizen who will be at least 18 years old by Election Day.

In Illinois, the deadline to register has already passed. It was Tuesday (Oct. 5).
But Illinois residents who missed the deadline can sign up during a grace period that runs through Oct. 26. However, the law requires that during the grace period, people must register at the office of their election authority and — if they want to vote in the general election — to cast their ballot at the same office or by mail at the discretion of the election authority. Those people are not allowed to vote at an early voting center or at a polling place on Election Day.
