From our friends at the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics:


The voter registration deadline for the September 12 Primary Election is Monday, August 14. Citizens who are District of Columbia residents can register to vote at the Board’s office, by a mail-in voter registration application, online at the Board’s web site, or when applying for or renewing their driver’s licenses at the District of Columbia Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

The Board’s office will be open during regular business hours from 8:30 a.m. until 4:45 p.m. on August 14 for citizens to complete a voter registration application in Room 250 North of the One Judiciary Square building located at 441 4th Street, NW.

Citizens may register by mail. Mail-in voter applications are available at any District of Columbia public library, firehouse, or police station. Mail-in voter applications must be postmarked no later than August 14 to be valid for next month’s Primary Election. The application is also available online at the Board’s web site at http://www.dcboee.org.

Forms completed online are considered pending until the Board of Elections and Ethics has received the printed application signed by the voters. The forms must also be postmarked no later than August 14.

Through the Motor Voter Program, a citizen may register to vote when applying for or renewing his or her driver’s license at the District of Columbia Department of Motor Vehicles.
