Where to Vote in Ward 8

Early vote centers open today in the District for voters looking to cast an in-person ballot or register to vote. These locations are open from 8:30 am to 7:00 pm through Sunday, November 6. For those with mail-in ballots, you can drop them off at any vote center or at one of the 55 ballot drop box locations throughout the District (we advise using drop boxes instead of mailboxes). Lastly, on Election Day - Tuesday, November 8 - residents can cast votes at any of the 65 vote centers across the District.

Below is a list of all Ward 8 early vote centers, drop box locations, and election day voter centers; however, you can vote at any vote center or use any drop box in the District. You can find the closest vote center or drop box by clicking here!

Just like during the June 2022 primary, Vote Centers will be located in each ward for early voting and election-day voting. There will also be a number of ballot drop boxes around the District for you to drop off your mail-in ballots.
