After the pre-registration deadline, any person who is not already registered in the county may register by proving identity and residency. This is called Election Day Registration (EDR), even if it’s done during absentee voting and not on election day at the polls.
If a voter wants to register after the pre-registration deadline in the auditor’s office and vote in the upcoming election, the voter also must vote an absentee ballot at the same time. If the voter wants to vote on election day, the voter must go to the correct precinct and complete the election day registration process.
