Viewing Previous Elections in the County in Which the Voter is Eligible to Vote
Elections are divided into two groups—Upcoming Elections followed by Previous Elections—and within groups elections are shown in ascending order by election date. To view the previously completed elections, click the Previous Elections tab in the ribbon bar. It also provides polling place information and displays their participation in elections held within the past 12 months.
Each election is shown in a box along with pertinent dates (election day, book closing, etc.) and information on the voter’s polling place for that election. If the voter voted in a past election, there is a note indicating how the voter voted.
If a voter registered after book closing for an election for which they were otherwise eligible, they will see the message: You are ineligible for this election as your registration date is after registration closed.
