To find your polling location, start with your local and state or national election authority. Here are reliable steps you can use right away:

  • Check your official election website
    • Most states publish a “Find My Polling Place” or “Polling Place Lookup” tool. You’ll usually need your home address and sometimes your date of birth. If you’re in the U.S., your state’s secretary of state or local elections office site is the best source.
  • Use your county or city elections office
    • Some areas direct you to a county elections portal or a city clerk page. If you have a county name, search for “[County Name] elections polling place” to land on the correct page.
  • Look up what’s on your ballot and polling hours
    • Many official sites provide a combined lookup: polling location, ballot contents, and early voting options. This can help you plan ahead.
  • Voter registration status matters
    • If you’ve recently moved or updated your registration, verify your current polling place. Some jurisdictions require you to vote at your registered address, while others offer same-day registration or vote centers.
  • For non-U.S. residents or travelers
    • Use the country’s official election portal or local election office site. International election sites often have a “Where to vote” or “Polling station” finder, frequently with country-wide instructions and hours.

If you’d like, tell me your country (and state or province, if applicable) and your current address (or just the city and postal code). I can guide you to the exact official page and help you interpret what you see there.
