Elections
The Voter Registration Department carries out a wide array of tasks related to the electoral process. Our responsibilities include voter registration, ensuring voter registrations remain current, establishing voting locations, recruiting poll workers for election day, maintaining and securing voting machines, and disseminating election results once the process concludes.
Our objective is to consistently furnish accurate and up-to-date information to voters and prospective candidates interested in running for office.
Our regular operating hours are listed on our contact page.
