What do I need to bring with me if I want to register to vote at the polls?

You can register to vote ON PRIMARY ELECTION DAY, right there at the polls. You need proof of your address, which can be an bill for a service like electricity, gas, phone, internet that has your name and address on it, a picture ID like a driver’s license or state identification card, or a passport.

If you do not have these things, but you have a friend that does, they can come with you and be your “voucher” – as in, they can tell the election judge that you live at the address you are claiming.

Cannot get out of your car due to a disability or an accident? You can vote from your car! You need one other person with you, and they can tell an election judge that a ballot needs to be brought to a car. Here’s the info:

Curbside voting is available
Voters unable to enter a polling place may register and vote without leaving their vehicle. If you or someone you are with at a polling place would like to use curbside voting, notify a volunteer or an election judge.
When you use curbside voting, an election judge will ask for your name as the voter, and will look up in the roster to verify whether or not you are already registered and that you have not already voted by absentee ballot. Then, a team of two election judges will:

  • take a Certificate of Registered Voter form, along with a Voter Registration Application (if you are not already registered) to your car;
  • bring the ballot, clipboard, pen, secrecy folder, and “I Voted” sticker to the car;
  • allow you to mark the ballot, and then ask you to wait while they bring your ballot back into the polling place to insert into the ballot counter; and
  • return to your car to let you know that your ballot has been accepted.

IF YOU CANNOT VOTE EARLY, PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE ON AUGUST 14 (PRIMARY) at your polling place!
