New Yorkers must register to vote by Oct. 9 in order to cast ballots in the Nov. 3 general elections.

Over 195,000 New Yorkers, more than 53,000 who were registering for the first time, have registered to vote at dmv.ny.gov using the Department of Motor Vehicles automated online system, MyDMV, according to release from the governor’s office.

The service is the first and only online voter registration process in New York State.

The deadline to register to vote in the upcoming November general elections is Oct. 9.

To create an account, individuals must use their New York State driver’s license, permit, or non-driver ID, last four digits of their Social Security Number, and the ZIP code currently listed on their New York State DMV-issued driver license, permit or non-driver ID record.

— Be a United States citizen;

— Be 18 years old by Dec. 31 of the year in which you submit the form;

— Live at your present address at least 30 days before an election;

— Not be in prison or on parole for a felony conviction, or be ruled mentally incompetent by a court; and
