For details on voting locations, hours, and the list of accepted identification, please visit the Voter Information page on the City’s website.
If you receive a voter notification card with incorrect information, you can still vote. Bring the card and your identification (name and qualifying address) to any poll and we will correct the information for you. New cards will not be issued. Residents can also update their voter information online.
