There are only days left to register to vote in North Carolina's primary election. Eligible voters there can sign up in person at early voting sites through the end of the month. And in Illinois, eligible voters have until March 1st to register online. After that, Illinois voters can sign up at election offices through the last day of voting on March 17. Other places getting ready to hold statewide primary races next month include Arkansas, Texas and Mississippi. It's too late to register for those, but eligible voters still have months left to sign up to cast ballots in this fall's general election. Already registered voters may want to check their registration status. Voters can sometimes be removed from lists, especially if they move, change their name or haven't voted in a while.
