Election day is coming up on November 7, 2023, with polling places open from 6:00 am to 7:00 pm. If you have not registered to vote, or need to check your voter status, you can visit the Department of Elections website.
We are lucky enough to have a variety of options to allow us to submit our vote. Voting Options include:
1. Early In-Person Voting: Visit your local registrar's office up to 45 days prior to election day to vote. This year you can start voting in person on September 22, 2023. You do not have to have a reason to vote early. You will need an acceptable form of ID. Accessible equipment and/or curbside voting is available upon request. It is highly recommended that you call ahead of time to set this up. Locate your local Voter Registration Office here.
2. Vote Absentee by Mail: Fill out the form online here. You can also print out a paper form to fill out by hand and mail in here. Ballots submitted by mail must be postmarked on or before election Day and must be received by your registrar no later than noon on the third day after the election.
*Note: In state and local elections, first-time voters cannot vote absentee by mail unless they meet certain eligibility requirements. Check with your local General Registrar to confirm your eligibility.
3. Military: If you are Military or Overseas, please view special information here.
4. Vote in person: You can vote early on Saturdays October 28 and November 4 or on Election Day, November 7, 2023.
You can look up your polling place here and find a list of Delegates and referendums here.
There are also deadlines that you need to be aware of. Here's what we found:
- Tuesday, October 16, 2023: The deadline to register to vote or update your registration. You can register to vote online, in person at your local registrar, or at your local Department of Motor Vehicles office.
- October 27, 2023: The deadline to request an absentee ballot by mail.
- November 4, 2023: 5pm is the deadline to request an absentee ballot in person.
