Here’s the simplest way to find your polling location: check your state or local election office website, or use your voter registration lookup with your home address. Your assigned polling place is based on where you live, and it can change from one election to the next.

Easy steps

  1. Go to your state or local election office site.
  2. Look for “find my polling place,” “voter registration lookup,” or “where do I vote.”
  3. Enter your residential address, and sometimes your name or date of birth.
  4. Save the polling place address and hours.
  5. Check again close to Election Day in case it changed.

What to know

  • You usually must vote at your assigned polling place, not just any nearby location.
  • Polling places are often in schools, community centers, or other public buildings.
  • If you moved, update your voter registration so your polling place matches your new address.
  • If you need accessibility help, contact your election office ahead of time.

Quick beginner tip

If online tools feel confusing, call your county or local election office and ask, “What is my polling place for this address?” They can usually give you the exact location and any special instructions.
