Who can vote in the U.S. Presidential Election?

With the U.S. Presidential Election just days away, American citizens in the United States and abroad will take part in electing the 47th President of the United States.

Although the current front runners are Vice-President Kamala D. Harris for the Democrat Party and former President Donald J. Trump for the Republican Party, other third-party candidates are also running. These candidates include Green Party Candidate Jill Stein, M.D and former Harvard University Professor and Princeton University Emeritus Cornel West.

In order to vote in the Presidential Elections, you must be a U.S. citizen either by birth or through naturalization.

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age by election day although you may be able to register to vote before election day if you will be 18 years old on election day. Please confirm with your state requirements at https://www.usa.gov/voter-registration. If you have questions about whether you may vote in your state, contact your local county election officials where you wish to register and vote.

Eligible voters in many states have multiple options to cast their ballot:

  1. Vote in person on election day at your designated polling location;
  2. Vote early, in-person before election day at your designated polling location;
  3. Request for a mail-in/absentee ballot if available to vote by mail. More information can be found at https://www.usa.gov/absentee-voting.

President-Elect Trump’s Mass Deportation Begins to Take Hold

During the 2024 campaign,  former president and candidate Donald J. Trump promised mass deportation for millions on undocumented migrants in the United States. It appears that the campaign pledges are beginning to take hold.

Federal Judge Strikes Down Parole-in-Place Program

A U.S. Federal Court Judge has struck down Parole-in-Place following an earlier decision granting the State of Texas and fifteen (15) other states an administrative stay two months ago. Judge J. Campbell Barker of the Eastern District of Texas ruled that the program, which would fast-track permanent residency to certain undocumented immigrants to obtain lawful permanent residents who are spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens, “exceeded its statutory authority and is not in accordance with the law.”  Judge Barker further added that the program “focuses on the wrong thing, in identifying ‘significant public benefits’- the benefits of aliens’ new legal status – rather than their presence in the country.”  At the time of publishing this article, it is unclear whether the Biden Administration will appeal Judge Barker’s ruling.  For more information on this ruling, please contact us at info@enterlinepartners.com.
