Residents can visit any vote center, regardless of where they live in their county. People can cast their vote in person at the centers, or drop off their mail-in ballot.

On Election Day on Tuesday, vote centers will all be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Authorities are urging people to cast their ballots early rather than waiting until Tuesday to avoid long waits and also expedite the process of tabulating the vote.

Residents who missed the registration deadline for the election but still want to vote can visit a vote center and complete a conditional voter registration form and cast a ballot. The ballot will be held until the voter’s eligibility is confirmed.
