You can check your voter registration status by visiting your state or local election official’s website or contacting your local elections office. Since registration is handled at the state level in the U.S., the fastest and most accurate way is to use your state’s official voter information portal or call the office directly. What to do next
- Identify your state of residence.
- Visit your state election website and look for sections titled “Check registration,” “Am I registered to vote,” or “Voter information.”
- If you can’t find online tools, use the contact information for your county or city elections office to confirm your registration status or request a registration lookup.
- If you recently moved or changed your name, you may need to update your registration through the same official site or office before the next election.
- If you’re unsure which state you’re currently registered in due to recent moves, start with your most recent state of residence and, if necessary, check both states’ official sites or contact their elections offices.
Tips
- Have handy personal details commonly used for verification: full name, date of birth, current address, and the last four digits of your driver’s license or state ID (if requested by your state).
- Some states provide a “polling place” lookup as part of the same tool, so you can confirm where you’ll vote on election day.
If you’d like, share your state (or your current location), and I can guide you to the exact official page or contact information for that state.
