Yes, please be aware of these [verified by me] facts: to check on your voter registration, use <vote.gov>, not the safe-sounding other thing that is a front for Elon Musk to collect personal information.

Yes, you need to check your voter registration. Yes, vote.gov will do that for you through the EAC. 🚨 NO. Do NOT use VoteSafe[.]org 🚨 It belongs to Elon Musk & Itty will absolutely hoover up your personal data from ip address to links you click & more. Musk's American PAC is funding that site.
