Voter Eligibility Information

In order to cast a ballot in a City election, you must be both eligible to vote and registered to vote.  Persons are generally eligible to vote if:

  • Are 18 years of age or older on the day of the election
  • Are Citizens of the United States
  • Are not disqualified as a convicted felon
  • Have a registration that is valid on the day of the election

Voters meeting these qualifications will generally be allowed to cast a ballot on election day or during early voting.  If you believe you meet all of these criteria but are not allowed to cast a ballot by election personnel, ask the Election Judge to explain your right to cast a provisional ballot.
