You can verify your voter registration and find your polling place with official state resources. Here’s a clear, step-by-step approach to check your status and stay compliant: Direct answer
- Check online with your state or local election office to confirm if you are currently registered to vote, and to view details like your name, address, party affiliation (if applicable), and polling location. If you recently moved or changed your name, you may need to update your registration before the next election. If you changed states, re-register in your new state. For many states, you can also verify whether you’re registered after submitting a registration online.
How to check (general steps)
- Visit your state’s official election website or the official government portal for voter information.
- Look for sections labeled “Voter Registration Status,” “Check My Registration,” or “My Voter Information.” Some sites may call this “Am I registered?” or “Voter status.”
- You may be asked for identifying details such as your full name, date of birth, and address. Some states allow you to search by driver’s license number or the last four digits of your Social Security number.
- Review the results to confirm your registration status, registered name and address, polling place, and any required actions (e.g., updating address or party affiliation).
- If not registered or if changes are needed, follow the provided instructions to register or update your details. Some states offer same-day registration or changes up to a certain window before elections; eligibility varies by location.
If you prefer, you can also contact:
- Your state or county board of elections or elections office. They can confirm status and answer questions about deadlines, polling locations, and required identification.
- A trusted, official election information site for your state, which often provides tools to lookup registration status and polling place.
Important reminders
- If you recently registered online, it may take up to 24 hours (and sometimes longer) for the status to appear in the system. If you don’t see yourself listed after a day, check again or contact the elections office.
- Keep your registration up to date if you move, change your name, or change your party affiliation where applicable.
- Check your registration ahead of important deadlines (registration closes or changes take effect at specific times before elections).
