What information is required to register?

Your real first and last name, without a space between them, goes in the top field. Middle name optional. Capitalizing both names is suggested. Should the computer tell you that someone has already registered with the same name, please distinguish your name by adding a middle name or initial, or any symbols. This will be made public as you edit.

Email address must be validated before you can edit. That is, you will be sent an email at the address you provide; clicking on that will "validate" that the address is really yours. Your email will not be made public. With your permission you will be able to email other participants who have consented to receive "Inmail".

Your political party and state with which you are actually registered goes in the lowest field. Optional: add any information about yourself, such as your political or religious perspective or contact info, that you would like to share with readers. This will be made public with your edits. Abbreviations are suggested: for example, D-IA, R-OR, I-MO. Dave Leach R-IA BibleLover-musician-grandpa

If you can't register to vote because you are a noncitizen, you may abbreviate with "NC". If you are a minor, "minor" or "child". If you are an adult citizen who has not registered to vote, please register to vote!
