I will turn 18 November 4 2008.  Will I be able to vote in that election or will I miss it because I won't turn 18 before the registration deadline?

Yes, you will just barely be able to vote. Election day will be that day.

I realize that but I need to register before election day.  Can I register to vote when I'm not yet 18?

Yes. Hell, in MD they allow you to vote in any primary that you're 18 for the general election. A couple of 16 year olds got to vote.

Can you not register at the polls? Or is that not something you can do in the U.S.?

So many restrictions... In Canada, you only have to be 18 and over and a citizen to vote. (providing you are not the chief electoral officer or his deputy)

Republicans like barriers to voting. Some midwest states have same day registration. The rules are better than they used to, every state has to accept registrations 30 days before.
