Q.
How do I update my address?
A.
If you have moved recently and need to update your address for voting, all you have to do is fill out a new voter registration form and submit it to the Auditor’s office. If you do not update your address after a move through a new voter registration form and do not vote in the next general election, you will be marked inactive (inactive voters may still vote with proper ID). Registration will be canceled if two more general elections pass with no voter activity.
Q.
I can't get out of my car; can someone bring me a ballot to vote from there?
A.
Yes. If you are unable to go inside the polling place a team of election workers will be sent out to your car to help you vote.
