Where is My Polling Location?

On your Voter Registration certificate, you will see a precinct number. Your residence is located in a specific “precinct” or area within the county where you will vote on Election Day. As well, most newspapers print precinct polling places and addresses in the days before an election. www.HARConnect.com also has a convenient list of links to all area election pages.
