Thursday Is the Last Day of Early Voting in Montgomery County. Here’s How to Vote.

Thursday, Oct. 29, is the last day of early voting in Montgomery County. All 14 early voting centers are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and you can vote at any of them, not just the one closest to home.

Everything you need is on our voting page, moderatelymoco.com/vote: voter guides, polling places, registration and mail-in ballot details.

Before you go

• Find a center: see the Board of Elections’ list of 14 centers, or text EV and your ZIP code to 77788.
• Check the line: the county posts current wait times at each center.
• Not registered? You can register and vote the same day at an early voting center. Bring a document that proves where you live, such as your MVA license or ID card, or a paycheck, bank statement or utility bill. The State Board of Elections explains what counts.
• Check your registration: use the State Board of Elections’ Voter Lookup.
• See your ballot first: the State Board of Elections posts Montgomery County’s sample ballots.

If you miss early voting

• Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. You must vote at your assigned polling place; find it with the Polling Place Locator.
• Have a mail-in ballot? We suggest returning it in one of the county’s 58 official drop boxes rather than the mail. Drop boxes are open until 8 p.m. on Nov. 3. You can also hand it in at an early voting center today. Sign the oath on the return envelope, or the ballot will not count.
