Your voter registration card

1. After you apply, a voter registration certificate (your proof of registration) will be mailed to you within 30 days.
2. Check your certificate to be sure all information is correct. If there is a mistake, make corrections and return it to the Voter Registrar immediately.
3. On your registration certificate, you will see a precinct number. Your residence is located in a specific “precinct” or area within the county where you will vote on Election Day. In some cases, precincts may be combined to accommodate joint local elections, so always consult your County Clerk or Elections Administrator in the days before an election for the address of the polling place where you’re to vote. If your county has supplied us with polling place information, you can find that information here: County Precincts and Polling Place Addresses
4. When you go to the polls to vote, present your certificate as proof of registration.
5. You may vote without your certificate by signing an affidavit at the polling place and showing some other form of identification (for example, driver license, birth certificate, copy of electric bill).
6. If you lose your certificate, notify your county Voter Registrar in writing to receive a new one.
7. You will automatically receive a new certificate every two years if you haven’t moved from the address at which you are registered.
