Voter Resources
Registering To Vote: The most important thing you can do before you actually vote is to register. You can fill out a voter registration form by clicking here or you can register at your polling place on Election Day.
Voting Location: Every voter is assigned a specific location to cast their ballot on Primary Day -- usually it's near your home address. Click here to find your local polling place.
Early Voting: If you know you won't be able to make it to your polling place on Primary Day, you always have the option to vote early in person. You can apply for an absentee ballot at your local county election office.
Sample Ballot: To make sure you know who will be on the ballot before casting your vote, the Secretary of State's office has put together a sample ballot. Click here to see who's on your ballot.
