If you can spend hours online shopping around for ugly Christmas sweaters or reading up on if Justin Beiber and Hailey are actually married or not, then you can spend a few minutes filling out a ballot.

Not every state is eligible for voting online, but if you live in one of the states that elect to participate, then click hereto find out!

3. Vote by mail.

Can't be bothered to use your computer or leave your house for more than a few minutes? No problem, you can send it in the mail!

For this one, you have to send a request into your Supervisor of Elections. That is if you haven't already gotten your sample ballot in the mail asking you if you need a mail-in ballot.

If you're too late for this round of voting, don't worry, just remember to just request your ballot before the next deadline!

4. Vote in person.
