If you are planning to vote in person on Tuesday, November 3, check the election office responsible for your address. Polling hours vary by state and local jurisdiction, so a time shared by a friend in another area may not apply to you.

Find your local voting hours

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission offers a state-by-state directory. Choose your state and follow its election-office links to check your polling location, hours and any identification requirements. Confirm the details with your state or local election office, especially if you have moved or your usual site has changed.

Some jurisdictions use assigned polling places; others offer vote centers where eligible voters in the jurisdiction may choose among locations. The rules are not the same everywhere, according to the Election Assistance Commission.

Check before you leave

Look up your registration and the location you are eligible to use. USAGov’s guide explains how to contact an election office for location and hours. Ask the office about accessibility or identification if you are unsure what applies to you.

If you received a mail ballot and now want to vote in person, contact your election office before going. States have different procedures for handling a ballot that was already issued.

Election Day is November 3. The Associated Press reports that voters are choosing congressional, state and local representatives and considering ballot measures. This guide is nonpartisan and does not predict results.
