IMPORTANT VOTER INFORMATION

How to register to vote

Register with the Department of Public Safety when applying for or making changes to a driver's license;

Register in person at the county Elections Administrator's office; or

Register by mail. You may obtain an application from the county Elections Administrator's Office, the Secretary of State's Office, libraries, many post offices, high schools or by clicking the link above.

Read the instructions on the form, fill it out and mail it to the above mailing address; or take it to the Elections Administrator's Office at the physical address noted above.

You must be at least 17 years and 10 months of age on the date you apply and be 18 years old by election day.

The application must be received in the voter registrar's office or postmarked 30 days before an election for you to be eligible to vote in that election.

Voter registration certificate

Once you apply, a voter registration certificate (proof of registration)
will be mailed to you within 30 days.

Check your certificate to be sure all information is correct. (If there is a mistake, make corrections on the back and return it to the Elections Administrator immediately.)

When you go to the polls to vote, present your certificate as proof of registration. You may vote without your certificate by signing an affidavit at the polling place and showing some other form of identification (for example, driver's license, birth certificate, copy of electric bill).

If you lose your certificate, notify the Elections Administrator in writing to receive a new one. You will automatically receive a new certificate every two years if you haven't moved from the address at which you are registered.

If you move within the county

If you move within the same county, promptly notify the Elections Administrator, in writing, of your new address by:

correcting your current voter registration certificate on the back and returning it to the Elections Administrator;

filling out a new voter registration application form and checking the "change" box; or

making simultaneous changes to your driver's license and voter registration when you apply for or update your driver's license.

You will receive a new certificate with your new address. You will be able to vote in your new precinct 30 days after your change of address is submitted. If you miss the deadline (30 days before an election), you may vote in your former precinct as long as you still reside in the political subdivision conducting the election.

Your residence is located in a specific "precinct," which is an area within the county. There are many precincts within a county. The place where you will vote on Election Day is located in your precinct. There may be combined precincts in order to accommodate joint local elections; therefore, in some elections you may vote outside your designated precinct. The Elections Administrator can give you the specific location of your polling place, or you may find it by going to the current election page on this website.

If you move to another county

You must re-register! Fill out a new application and mail it, or take it in person, to the Voter Registrar of your new county. You will be registered 30 days after your application is submitted. You will receive a new certificate.

If your registration in the new county is not yet effective, you may be able to vote a "limited" ballot in your new county of residence on candidates or issues common between your old and new county. You may vote this "limited" ballot after moving and only during early voting by personal appearance (not Election Day) or by mail, if:

you were registered to vote in your former county at the time you moved; and your registration in your new county is not effective.

Name change

Promptly notify the Elections Administrator, in writing, of the change using the same steps as for IF YOU MOVE WITHIN THE COUNTY. You will receive a new certificate 30 days after your name change notice is submitted. You may continue to vote during this period. If you do not have your certificate in hand, you may sign an affidavit at the polls and present a form of identification.
