Why Be an
EARLY-IN-PERSON Voter?
You’re always the first in line for the hottest new drops … and voting is no different. You want the bragging rights that come with voting, but on your own time. So get that election day experience without the election day drama and hop to the nearest early voting site and be one of the first to cast your vote, like the boss you are.
What is Early-in-Person Voting?
Early-in-person voting allows voters to cast a ballot in person before election day. Voters who choose this option will get to run their completed ballot through the tabulator just like it’s election day!
So How Do I Vote Early-in-Person?
First things first: Make sure you’ve checked your registration status and/or registered to vote. You can’t change the world unless you VOTE, and you can’t VOTE unless you REGISTER!
Registered? Great. Now let’s get you voting early!
Where Do I Go to Vote Early?
- Early voting sites operate similarly to an official election day polling location, but can be set up to serve voters from more than one city or township.
- To look up your assigned early voting site(s) up to 60 days prior to election day, click here.
- PS: some voters may have only one assigned early voting site, while others may have several locations to choose from.
- PPS: some early voting sites are open longer than others. More details below.
What Should I Know Before Voting Early-in-Person?
- Want a sneak peek of your ballot before election day? You know you do. You can check your ballot here.
- We know it’s fun to rock a special voting day fit! Just make sure it doesn’t include any election-related or partisan messages, or you’ll be asked to cover or remove it.
- You will be asked to show ID when you check in to vote. If you don’t have one, you can still vote by signing a simple form called an affidavit.

You can use these photo IDs if unexpired:
