Having trouble registering to vote because you cannot get your Driver's License? We can help. We are aware that, due to COVID-19 related issues, people are experiencing problems and delays when trying to obtain a driver's license from the Department of Licensing. If you need to register to vote and are unable to obtain a state license or I.D. card please contact us by using the Online Questions and Service Requests form.
