Voting

[coffeeguy]

Hello,

I am currently in the process of becoming a US citizen. I just had my biometrics appointment today and now studying for the civics test.

Part of my decision to become a citizenship is having the right to vote.

If everything goes well and I am called for the Oath ceremony will I legally be allowed to vote on that day? Or will I have to wait for additional documents in the mail?

And if I am allowed to vote how long does the voter registration process take?

I apologize if this post is in the wrong section on this forum.

Thank you!

It depends on the state. My registration card arrived in 2-3 weeks. Check with your state's election board, they should have a website and also the deadline for registration to be eligible to vote this fall.

They don't ask for any proof of citizenship when you register to vote. As soon as you take the oath, you can register. If you don't get your registration card in the post in time for the election, you can take your ID and register at your polling place in most cases.
