ELECTIONS

April 1st Consolidated Election!

The next election on the horizon is the 2025 Consolidated Election on April 1st. More information coming soon. 

Voters do not need to provide an excuse or reason why they cannot vote on Election Day.
Government-issued photo ID is not required but is helpful if there is a question about the voter’s registration, address or signature. Providing an ID can speed up the process because there is an ID card reader at every check-in station.

You can register to vote at ALL Early Vote Sites. NOTE: Any voter who needs to register for the first time or file an address change must present two forms of ID, one of which shows the voter’s current address.
