Python else: SyntaxError: Invalid Syntax

Question

I'm not sure at all why I keep getting this message no matter what i do. I've tried in 3 different plateforms. This is just the last half of the code. I just updated with the whole code and can't figure it out. I know it's something simple, and i have to be overlooking it. PLEASE HELP!!

Line 65 Else: ^ SyntaxError: Invalid Syntax

Python uses whitespace to structure your code, so you need to indent your code correctly. Here my best guess as to what you want:

from sys import exit

preceed = input("Do you wish to continue? (Yes/No)\n")
if preceed.lower() in ['y', 'yes']:
    # Citizen Check
    citizen = input('Are you a U.S. Citizen? (Yes/No)\n') 
    if citizen.lower() in ['y', 'yes']:
        preceed = input("Do you wish to continue? (Yes/No)\n") 
        if preceed.lower() in ['y', 'yes']:
            # State Check
            state = input('Which State do you live in? ex. AL, CA, IL, ect... \n')
            if state.lower() in ['al', 'ak', 'az', 'ar', 'ca', 'co', 'ct', 'de', 'dc',   'fl', 'ga', 'hi', 'id',      'il', 'in', 'ia', 'ks', 'ky', 'la','me', 'md',   'ma','mi', 'mn', 'ms', 'mo', 'mt', 'ne', 'nv', 'nh', 'nj', 'nm','ny', 'nc', 'nd',   'oh', 'ok', 'or', 'pa', 'pr', 'ri', 'sc', 'sd', 'tn', 'tx','ut', 'vt', 'va', 'wa',   'wv', 'wi', 'wy']:
                preceed = input("Do you wish to continue? (Yes/No)\n")
                if preceed.lower() in ['y', 'yes']:
                    # Zip Code
                    while True:
                        zipCode = int(input("Please enter Zipcode\n"))
                        if zipCode > 9999 and zipCode < 100000:
                            break

                    print('Thank you for registering to Vote.\n Here is the information you     have entered.')
                    print('Name (First Last): ' + firstName + " " + lastName)
                    print('Age: ' + str(age))
                    print('U.S. Citizen: Yes')
                    print('State: ' + state)
                    print('Zipcode: ' + str(zipCode)) 
                    print('Thank you for trying the Voter Registration Application.\nYour registration card     should be shipped within 3 weeks')
            else:
                print('Please enter vaild state next time')
                exit()
        else:
           exit()
    else:
      print('Sorry you can not vote')
else: 
    exit()

Consider using the early return pattern to avoid deeply nested code:

from sys import exit

citizen = input('Are you a U.S. Citizen? (Yes/No)\n') 
if citizen.lower() not in ['y', 'yes']:
    print('Sorry you can not vote')
    exit(1)
state = input('Which State do you live in? ex. AL, CA, IL, ect... \n')
if state.lower() not in ['al', 'ak', 'az', 'ar', 'ca', 'co', 'ct', 'de', 'dc',   'fl', 'ga', 'hi', 'id',      'il', 'in', 'ia', 'ks', 'ky', 'la','me', 'md',   'ma','mi', 'mn', 'ms', 'mo', 'mt', 'ne', 'nv', 'nh', 'nj', 'nm','ny', 'nc', 'nd',   'oh', 'ok', 'or', 'pa', 'pr', 'ri', 'sc', 'sd', 'tn', 'tx','ut', 'vt', 'va', 'wa',   'wv', 'wi', 'wy']:
    print('Please enter vaild state next time')
    exit(1)
zipCode = int(input("Please enter Zipcode\n"))
if zipCode < 0 or zipCode > 9999:
    print('Please use valid 5 digit zip code')
    exit(1)
firstName = "TBD"
lastName = "TBD"
age = "TBD"

print('Thank you for registering to Vote.\n Here is the information you     have entered.')
print('Name (First Last): ' + firstName + " " + lastName)
print('Age: ' + str(age))
print('U.S. Citizen: Yes')
print('State: ' + state)
print('Zipcode: ' + str(zipCode)) 
print('Thank you for trying the Voter Registration Application.\nYour registration card     should be shipped within 3 weeks')

Answer 2

else statement before " print('Sorry you can not vote') " need the proper indentation. and if it's giving syntax error, the exit() you using might be not imported. try sys.exit(). Hope this will be helpful
