Voter registration numbers are breaking records in states around the country this year, but thousands of eligible voters have still not registered to vote.

The deadline for mailing in registration applications in 21 states is this coming Monday, October 6th. If you're a new voter, be sure to mail your application on time.

A few states have deadlines before then. The deadline in Nevada, Rhode Island, South Carolina and the Virgin Islands is Saturday, the 4th. Alaska's deadline is the 5th.

The remaining state deadlines are scattered throughout October.

Eight states allow registration on the same day as the election, in case you forget to register beforehand. Those states are: Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

North Dakota is the only state that doesn't require voters to register in order to cast a ballot.
