Voting in person
- Early voting starts on Thursday, October 27, 2022 and goes through Thursday, November 3, 2022. Each early voting center will be open continuously from 7 am to 8 pm each day. Anyone in line at 8 pm will be allowed to vote.
- Each jurisdiction will have voting centers available. You must vote in the county where you are registered to vote, but you can visit any center within that county. A list of all Early Voting Centers can be found here.
- More information about Early Voting can be found here.
- In-person voting options will be available from 7am-8pm on November 8th. Find your polling location here.
- Same-day registration will be available during early voting and on election day, but we strongly encourage you to register to vote early instead.
- For same-day registration, go to any voting center in the county where you live, and bring a document that proves your residence (this can be a utility bill, mail from your jurisdiction, drivers license or MVA issued ID, etc.).
Voting by mail
- Any registered voter may vote by mail-in ballot. You don’t need a reason to vote by mail-in ballot. It’s another way to vote if you don’t want to or can’t go to an early voting center or your polling place.
- You can request a mail-in ballot here.
- Use the envelope provided with your ballot. You can then:
- Hand deliver your ballot. You must deliver it to your local board of elections by 8 pm on election day, or you may take it to an early voting center, or a ballot drop off box by the time the polls close.
- Mail your ballot. If you mail your voted ballot, make sure that the envelope is postmarked on or before general election day (November 8, 2022). Your voted ballot must be received by your local board of elections by 10 am on November 18, 2022.
