• Register in person at your town or city clerk’s office
• Register in person with your community’s Supervisors of the checklist. By law, the Supervisors of the Checklist are required to meet on the Saturday 6-13 days prior to each election. Check the local newspaper or call your clerk’s office for the date and time of such meeting.
• Register at your polling place on Election Day All voters are asked to show proof of identity, age, citizenship, and domicile, which can be satisfied either with documents or by signing an affidavit.

Inform voters that if they register and vote at the polls on Election Day, and do not meet ID verification requirements, they will get an affidavit ballot with a postage-paid voter verification letter, which must be returned with a copy of required ID within 7 days for the ballot to be certified.

• At least 18-years-old by Election Day
• A U.S. citizen

• A driver’s license or non-driver ID from any state satisfies proof of identity and age
• A birth certificate, U.S. Passport/card, or naturalization document satisfies proof of citizenship.
