For voting purposes, the law defines residence as the place in which one's habitation is fixed and to which whenever one is absent, one has the intention of returning. Citizens who will be 18 by the November election date are eligible to register to vote and participate in the primary elections, even though they may be 17 at the time of the primary election.
Persons convicted of felonies lose their voting eligibility while incarcerated.
When discharged or granted probation, parole, or pardoned, their voting rights are restored. In some instances, re-registration is required. Physically or mentally disabled or illiterate voters may receive help from two poll workers of different political parties or from a person of their choice, although not from an employer or union official. Polling places are to be free of barriers to disabled persons. Voting accessibility in every polling place is assured.
