Voting Guide for the 2024 Election

Election Day is Nov. 5.

Learn more about the candidates on our Elections 2024 page. Deadline to register to vote is Oct. 15. After that date voters may register at early vote locations and at their polling place on Election Day and vote the same day using a provisional ballot. Registration can be done online or at your local voter registrar’s office (see locations below).

Casting your vote

There are three ways to vote in the 2024 Election:

Early Voting In Person

Early voting starts on Friday, Sept. 20 and ends on Nov. 2. Early vote locations are open Monday through Friday plus the last two Saturdays before the election, Oct. 26 and Nov. 2. Hours vary depending on your locality.

Early voting is open to ALL registered voters. Drive up voting is available for disabled/handicapped voters. Same day registration is available after Oct. 15; until then, you can register/update your registration at your voter registrar’s office or online. After that deadline you may register and vote the same day, but you will vote a provisional ballot that will be counted once your registration info is verified.
