Checking your Voter Registration Status

Once you’ve completed a form with our team, or on your own, you should receive a certificate in the mail indicating that you’ve successfully been added as a voter in the system. Or, you can head to the Secretary of State website here, enter your information, and see if you have a voter profile pop up, which confirms you are a registered voter.
