Step 1:  Register to Vote

You must register to vote in the county where you live.  
Registration deadline is April 2, 2026

Register to Vote
  • Go to the voter registration website. Fill out the voter registration form, print it and mail it or take it to your county election office. You can NOT just fill out the form online.

Step 2:  Check Your Registration / Update Your Registration

Double check that your registration information is accurate and up to date.

Step 3:  Identify who will be on your ballot and who you want to vote for

Use this nonpartisan website, www.vote411.org, to find out:
  • Who is going to be on your specific ballot based on your address.
  • Where the candidates stand on the issues.

Step 4:  Make a plan to vote (and then vote!)

Election Day is May 2, but there are different ways and times to vote.

  • Any eligible voter can vote on election day, May 2.
  • Any eligible voter can vote early to avoid lines on election day.
  • Some voters are eligible to vote absentee (mail-in). Since there are several steps and deadlines with this method, use it only if absolutely necessary.
