Reminders
​Photo identification is now required to vote! Most voters already have one of the types of photo ID required to vote.  

City polling places are open from 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. The City has two polling
locations, National Guard Armory at 475 North Water Street and on campus in Ullsvik Hall at 30 South Hickory Street. A voter can only vote at the polling location that is designated for his/her
address. Make sure you are registered with your current address ahead of time – it will shorten your time at the polls on Election Day.  

Questions?
Stop in our office on the first floor in City Hall or call at 348-9741 x6.  We are happy to help!
