Demoville Votes

How it works

From “I should figure that out” to a real plan

Demoville Votes turns 51 rulebooks into one personal timeline — in about a minute.

  1. 1

    Answer three quick questions

    Which state you vote in, whether you're registered there, and how you'd like to vote (by mail, early, or on Election Day). That's the whole interview — no name, no street address, no email, no phone.

  2. 2

    Get your deadline timeline

    We keep a researched rulebook for all 50 states and DC: registration deadlines (online, mail, and in person), mail-ballot request and return rules, same-day registration, and every 2026 statewide election date. Your answers pick the rules that apply, and they become one clear, dated timeline with live countdowns.

  3. 3

    Send every deadline to your calendar

    One tap downloads a calendar file with all your dates — each with reminders a week before and the day before. It works with Apple, Google, Outlook, and anything else that speaks calendar. Prefer links? There's a Google Calendar option too. You can also print your plan or share it.

  4. 4

    Finish each step on your state's official site

    We never imitate government forms or collect your information to "submit it for you." Every action — registering, checking your status, requesting a ballot — happens on your state's own website, through the direct links in your plan. You always end up at the source of truth.

One honest caveat

Making a plan here is not the same as registering to vote or requesting a ballot — those only count when you complete them with your state. Our job is making sure you know exactly what to do and never miss the window to do it.
