The deadline to register in D.C. has already passed. D.C. residents not yet registered can still go to the office of the Board of Elections and Ethics this week, or they can do same-day registration at their polling location Nov. 6. But ballots cast will be counted as provisional and be included in the final tally only after election officials deem it to have been cast by a qualified voter.
