Eligibility to vote
You are eligible to register to vote in Lincoln if:
- You are a U.S. citizen, and
- You will be 18 years of age** by the date of the election, and
- You are a resident of Lincoln.
**Note, citizens who are 17 years of age may vote in a primary election if they will turn 18 by the date of the General Election. Seventeen-year-olds are not eligible to vote in local elections, which may mean you won't receive all ballots if both a primary and local election occur on the same date.
