The 2018 Midterm Election is less than 30 days away and voter registration deadlines around the country are closing in. 

Many states with historic races such as Florida and Georgia where two African-Americans are on the ticket for governor will see today as the last day to register potential voters.

Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Texas round out the first group of states with the early October deadline to register to vote.

In Florida, with the looming threat of Hurricane Michael hitting its gulf coast, state Democrats have sued to extend the voting deadline, the Associated Press reports.

See the complete list of states with the voter registration deadline of Oct. 9 below.
