Find a Voter
The Find A Voter dialog is used throughout Voter Focus to allow you to search for a voter record.
Use this tab to search for a voter's record or application, or to verify that a record does not already exist when you are registering a new voter.
Last Name (Voter ID) |
An entry in this field is required. Click the down arrow to select a record from the last 20 voter records you accessed. To search for a record, enter either the voter registration ID number or the voter's last name. You can use wildcard characters in the last name. Use the underscore character (_) to replace a single character; use the percent sign (%) to replace multiple characters. Here are some examples:
If you are entering the name of a new voter, and the last name begins with Mac or Mc, the next letter of the name will automatically be in uppercase when it appears on the application form. For example, entering Maclay will result in MacLay. You can lowercase the letter on the application form, if uppercase is not what you want. If a voter has a hyphenated surname, such as Adams-Smith, you can search for the full name: Adams-Smith or you can use the % wildcard like this: Adams% or %Smith |
