How To Find Your Election Day Polling Station
Your polling station is stated on your voter registration card, or If you have not received your voter registration card by mail, you can check to see if you are registered online and complete registration as well.
Voters can also find out online where to vote on election day, April 28. Polls are open from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
In all cases, early and day of, you need to bring your voter registration card and any government issued photo ID showing your name and address. If you don’t have photo ID, there is a long list of accepted ID’s available here. In addition, if you have no ID, someone who also lives in your polling area and is registered to vote can vouch (in person) for you.
