Did you forget to register to vote, or has your address or name changed since you registered?
Check your registration status to make sure you’re voting where you call home. If you need to
register, or update your voter registration, you must do so in-person at your municipal clerk’s
office. There, you can register and vote an absentee ballot. Alternatively, you can register at a
clerk’s office and travel to your polling location and vote there if there is still time. Remember,
you must be in line to vote at your polling place by 8 P.M.
✅Confirm Your Polling Location: A polling location is assigned to every voter based on the
address they registered to vote at.
✅Bring the Correct ID: When voting in-person, you will be asked to present a photo ID. Your
photo ID does not need to include your home address. If you do not have a photo ID, you can
sign a form that explains you did not have ID and vote a ballot that will be counted on Election
Day.
Acceptable IDs include:
✅Research Your Ballot: National, statewide, and local officials and ballot proposals are on the
ballot this year. Do your research and be an informed voter.
✅Know Your Voting Rights: Make sure you know your rights at the polls. Learn more about
