Voters may only vote in the ward where they live. Please note: On Feb. 9, 2022, the City Council adopted new ward boundaries through an ordinance change to ensure near equal representation in Dover’s six political wards based on 2020 Census Data. This ward redistricting affected about 1,500 voting households in Dover. Voters in new wards will also vote at different polling locations than their previous ward. Residents may check which ward they live in utilizing the interactive Ward Map above. 

Check party affiliation status

Voters who have provided their date of birth on a voter registration form may go to the Secretary of State’s Registered Voter web link to check their political party affiliation status. The person must enter their first name, last name, town or city, date of birth, and complete the security entry. If the name, town or city, and date of birth are the same as what was provided in their voter registration form, their name, voter ID, and party affiliation, if any, will be displayed.
