Third Party Voter Registration Training requires individuals and groups conducting voter-registration drives to register and to receive training. All individuals and groups that plan to obtain 25 or more voter registration applications must complete this training prior to obtaining these voter registration applications from the Department of Elections or a local voter registration office.

All certifications expire on June 30 of each year. You must be recertified each year if you wish to continue to hold voter drives or distribute voter-registration applications. To schedule training, you may contact the Department of Elections, access online training​ or contact your local voter registration and elections office.
