Listen to this note:
There is no deadline that is not met, nor a date that is not reached. This Tuesday, November 5, the general elections will be held in the country; however, it should not be forgotten that there are also decisions to be made at the state and local level.
Important data

Voters without a fixed address are encouraged to register by providing a description of where they live, including the streets that cross them. This allows the county election office to issue you a ballot that includes all the races you can vote in based on where you live.
