If you move to a different address within the County or change your name, please notify the Election Office in person, by mail, or by phone.

A: You must declare a political party affiliation in order to vote for political party candidates at the PRIMARY ELECTION. This declaration can be made at the time you register or at the polls on Primary Election day. If you do not want to declare a party preference, you may vote only on non-partisan candidates and issues at the Primary Election. A party affiliation need NOT be declared at the General Election in November
