Voter Registration Information

To register to vote you must fill out a voter registration application and send it to your county Supervisor of Elections.

If you have moved you must fill out a new voter registration application or write, fax (include your name, address, date of birth and signature) or go to your county Supervisor of Elections office.

Whenever you move be sure to update your voter registration with your new address so you remain eligible to vote Election Day.

It is a felony to knowingly vote at the wrong precinct!

Understanding Your Voter Registration Card

  • The District number for your Member of:
    • US Congress
    • State Senator and State Representative
    • County Commissioner and County School Board
    • City Commissioner (if you live in city)

Note: You do not need to show this card to vote!

Where To Vote

Your voter precinct, or the location of your polling place, is determined by your home address. You must be registered to vote at your home address, where you reside, as your address determines which candidates appear on your precinct ballot.

Your voter precinct will be open 7am-7pm on Election Day.

Prior to all elections, you will receive a sample ballot and the location of your precinct from your county Supervisor of Elections.

Look up your precinct location - it's also listed on your voter registration card; however, as locations sometimes change, look for notice of precinct location changes sent to you by your county Supervisor of Elections.

Absentee Ballot - Voting By Mail & Early Voting

Any eligible voter can request an absentee ballot by calling your county Supervisor of Elections.

You will receive your absentee ballot in the mail approximately 2-4 weeks prior to Election Day. Mark the ballot according to the instructions provided and use the return envelope provided.

Be sure to affix the appropriate postage needed to mail your ballot.

Be sure to sign your name on the back of the ballot.

You must have a witness also sign and provide their address.

Mail the ballot so that Supervisor of Election will receive it prior to 7pm on Election Day, or the ballot will not count. You can also hand deliver the ballot early to Supervisor of Elections or turn the ballot in at your precinct location on Election Day.

To vote early, or "absentee in person" in advance of the election, go to your county Supervisor of Elections office once ballots are available. (You should call that office for early voting dates and office hours.)
