Check to ensure you are registered to vote here. If you are not registered to vote and want to cast your ballot in this election, head down to your local county elections office to register to vote!


Same Day Voter Registration will work the same as years past! Meaning you can register to vote until 8pm on June 2nd! Read more about the preliminary injunction against SB490 that is allowing same-day voter registration to run as normal.

While we did not put together our own voter guide for this election, we wanted to share other voter guides, forums, and resources out there so you can cast an informed ballot!
