FAQ

Q.

What if I'm still waiting in line when the polls close?

A.

So long as you are in line to vote at the time the polls close you will be allowed to vote. 

Q.

I am already registered but my information needs updated; can I do that on Election Day?

A.

Yes. While it is recommended that you update your information prior to Election Day to speed things up at the polls, you may wait and do so on Election Day.
