In addition, the Board of Elections will send you a new voter registration card in the mail when you...

- register to vote

- change your address

- change your party affiliation

- are assigned to a new precinct

- are assigned to a new polling place.

Your voting location (polling place) is printed on the card. You are assigned a polling place based on the precinct where you live.

If you do not know where to vote, or if you have moved from the residence address we have on file, don't wait until Election Day! You may experience a delay in voting if your residence address is not up to date or if we have sent mail to your voter registration address that was returned to us by the Postal Service.

The Board of Elections removes voters listed on an official list of deceased persons sent by the state each month. In addition, a near relative may submit a written request to remove the voter registration of a deceased voter or by using the Notification of Deceased Voter Form.
