QUICK TIPS      (see additional Tips for Voters)

Remember to bring proof of identity to the polls when you vote. You may use a current and valid government photo identification card, (for example, driver’s license) military ID, copy of a utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, government check, or government document showing your name and current address. Note: You cannot use the notice the Board of Elections mailed to you.

You may register at any Bureau of Motor Vehicles office, any municipal building, any branch of the Hamilton County Public Library or at the Hamilton County Board of Elections, 824 Broadway.

Voter registration closes 30 days before a General, Primary or Special Election. To inquire about your voter registration or where you vote contact the Board of Elections at: http://www.votehamiltoncounty.com
