2) Vote Early or Drop Off Your Absentee Ballot
The Douglass Community Association is the closest location to the Northside for early voting and absentee ballots.
Early voting: Available every day from 9 AM-5 PM through November 1st.
Absentee ballot drop-off: Ballots can be dropped off anytime before 8 PM on Election Day, November 3rd.
3) Election Day
Polls are open from 7 AM to 8 PM on Tuesday, November 3rd. Head to your assigned polling place anytime during those hours, and bring a photo ID. If you’re in line by 8 PM, you can still cast your ballot. Planning your trip ahead of time, such as going early in the day or bringing a neighbor along, can help you avoid the evening rush.
Make a Plan to Vote!
Decide when you’ll vote, where you’ll go, and who you’ll bring with you. Then share your plan with a friend or neighbor so you can hold each other accountable. A connected community is a stronger community, and every voice on the Northside counts.
