How to become a voter in the 2022 Election:

  3. Members of the community that have applied and been approved in the 2020 Regular Election and the 2022 Special election

Who to contact if you have questions about your automatic voter qualification status:

Please contact the entities below to verify your automatic voter status. Be sure to contact them as early as possible in this process. The last day to be confirmed as eligible to vote as a qualified automatic voter is by 8 p.m. October 8, 2022. After that date, if you are not in Good Standing/Active you will not be able to vote. You may need to work with the entity to ensure that you are in good standing prior to that date, so early confirmation is highly recommended.
