How to Determine a Voting Precinct

Determining your polling place is a relatively easy process. While some legwork is required, the only resource you'll need is your voter registration card, home address and Internet or phone access. With these few resources you can learn your polling place and obtain voting requirements (i.e., how to read a ballot, hours of operation, and number of persons allowed inside a voting booth). Remember, by determining your voting precinct, you will know where you should vote.

Things You'll Need

• Voter registration card

Instructions

1. Contact the Supervisor of Elections in your county or parish to determine your voting precinct. Contact or visit the official Supervisor of Elections website and provide your street name. Street names are categorized by the precinct under which they are ordered. Once you know your voting precinct, you can determine your polling place.

2. Locate your precinct number and then reference the Polling Places and District Assignments to determine your polling place.

3. Look at your voter registration card to determine your polling place. Review the card for the "polling place" or "precinct number" registered for the current voting year. Placement of this information will vary, but will be labeled as noted above. You must vote at the precinct number listed on the registration card.

4. Contact the City Clerk and provide your name and address. If you have identified your precinct number on your registration card but cannot determine the corresponding name and location of the precinct, the City Clerk can provide this information.

5. Ask the City Clerk about voting precincts, voting requirements or the particular zone in which you live. Zoning information can also help to determine your polling place.
