How do I register to vote?
Residents of the Town of Woodruff may register to vote at the clerk’s office at any time, during regular office hours, up until 5 p.m. on the Friday before an election. Be sure to bring with you a valid photo ID and proof of residence. A valid driver’s license or state ID is fine if the address listed is current; otherwise you will need to bring other proof of residence, such as a utility bill or bank statement.
If you are already registered to vote, you do not need to re-register unless you change your name or address.
Voters may also register to vote online, as long as it is more than 20 days before an election.

1) Update your name or address, or both.
2) Find your polling place.
