Check Your Registration and Polling Place
Don't take a chance on losing your vote in November
NOTE: This information was provided for the 2008 election, and has not been updated since then.
Use it only as a starting place for later elections.

Make sure you are registered to vote by the deadline in your state, and find out where you vote on election day. Many voters went to the polls in the primary election and discovered they weren't on the registration rolls. Don't let that happen to you.

The information in the table below was gathered from the state web sites and is provided as a convenience. Links on the state abbreviations take you to the state site where you can verify the information for yourself. We encourage you to do so.

If a website shows you ARE registered, print the page and keep it for proof. If a website shows you are NOT registered, follow up with your local election official to make sure. We are hearing reports that some websites aren't providing correct information.

** Asterisks beside an entry indicate "Notes" in the right-most column refer to it.

Poll voter? Find election-day hours here. For NH, look here.
Student? Find your rights and special requirements here.
Overseas? Register to vote and request an absentee ballot here or here.
