When to Vote and How to Register

The 2022 General Election will be on Tuesday, November 8, 2022.

Early voting will be October 27 through November 3.

If you are not already registered, you can register to vote in-person during early voting or on election day. Go to an early voting center in the county where you live during early voting, or go to an election day voting center in the county where you live and bring a document that proves where you live. This document can be your MVA-issued license, ID card, or change of address card, or your paycheck, bank statement, utility bill, or other government document with your name and new address. Online voting registration is closed at this time and will reopen after November 21st.
