To cast your ballot, you’ll need to locate your official polling place. The best way to get an exact, up-to-date polling location is to use your state or local election authority’s site, or a trusted national lookup tool, and enter your home address. What you can do right now

• Check your official election office website (state or county) for a “Poll site finder” or “Find your polling place” tool, then enter your address to get your designated polling place and hours.
• If you prefer, use a national or city-specific polling place lookup service by entering your address; you’ll typically see your polling location, voting hours, and any applicable early voting or ballot drop-off options.
• If you have not voted before in this election cycle or need to update your registration, look for links to same-day or early voting information and required IDs on the same page.

Tips to ensure a smooth process

• Bring a valid photo ID if your jurisdiction requires it, and bring any election materials you received by mail.
• Double-check the polling place on the day of the election, as some locations can change due to contingencies.
• If you plan to vote by mail or ballot drop-off instead of in person, verify deadlines and accepted methods on the official site.
