Did YOU Know?

CHANGES IN REGISTRATION
It is the responsibility of the voter to notify the elections office of a name, address or
party change. Contact our office at 569-1540 for instructions or complete a voter
registration application and mail it in or hand-deliver to one of our offices for
processing.

It is important that the elections office has your current signature on file. This is
especially important when validating your signature on a vote by mail ballot and/or
petitions. If your signature has changed, you may update it any time by submitting a
voter registration application to the elections office. Applications can be found at:
libraries, government offices and post offices or by calling or e-mailing the elections
office to have an application mailed to you.
WHERE TO VOTE
Your precinct number and polling place location are listed on your voter information
card. You will not be permitted to vote in a precinct in which you do not live.
Your voter information card will also tell you which U.S. Representative, State Senate,
State House, County Commission and School Board districts you live in, based on your
residential address.
