Using Voting and Election Records to Find Your Ancestors

Scott County Voting Register

Using Voting and Election Records to Find Your Ancestors

Learn how to locate different kinds of voting and election records and the genealogical information they could contain.

What You Will Learn

Our ancestors voted in local, state, and federal government elections. Many of our local, state, and national archives, libraries and genealogical societies have election and voting records that could help genealogists find their ancestors. These records could include the polling places where your ancestors voted and even your ancestor’s signature.
