A handwritten signature is required. If you cannot sign your name due to a physical disability, call 455-6552 for instructions.

MULTIPLE VOTE CENTERS WILL BE OPEN ON ELECTION DAY

Henderson residents can vote at any of the 15 vote centers in place of traditional, precinct-based polling locations. Each vote center is spaced no farther than three miles from another so that residents may vote at their convenience on Election Day. The ward of residence will not limit voters from voting in another ward.

Voting will take place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on April 7 and June 2.
