To vote curbside, a poll worker must be told that you need curbside assistance.

It is suggested that you call ahead to let the election officials at the polling site know that you wish to vote curbside. Call 202-727-2525 to obtain the polling place telephone number where you will be voting. Persons with a TDD or TTY device may call 202-639-8916.

Identification is required of first-time voters who register by mail and do not provide proof of identification with their application.
