Get to your polling place on Nov. 5 without any trouble. We put together a guide to help you find your assigned polling place.
Before heading out to vote this Tuesday, Nov. 5, make sure you know your assigned polling place based on your mailing address. To find it, you can use the Consulta del Elector page, where you will enter your voter number. The site's search tool will locate you and provide your municipality, precinct and unit where you will cast your vote. If you are not at the correct voting center, a polling place official will direct you to the correct precinct where your name will appear on the registration list.
At your assigned polling place you will find at least one official from each party, as required by the Electoral Code. Polling place officials are volunteers responsible for overseeing the electoral process and ensuring it complies with the Code. They must be affiliated with a party or independent candidate and will monitor:
your voter registration
receipt of the ballots
scanning after voting
the ballots being deposited in the ballot boxes
Once this process is complete, they will also oversee the electronic count, the preparation of official records, the handling of unused ballots and other materials.
Polling place officials are present at precincts on Election Day, but they also review early voting, absentee voting, at-home voting and the process at hospitals and jails.
