2026 Quincy Voter Guide

NEW: Register to vote directly on our website

Quincy Votes! has partnered with Rock the Vote to offer voter registration tools to Quincy residents.

September 1 Primary Elections

Primary elections are held when there are multiple candidates from the same political party seeking office. Primaries allow voters narrow down the candidates. The candidate who receives the most votes in the primary will move onto the November 3rd general election.

There will be both Democratic and Republican primaries on September 1st, and voters may only vote in one party primary.

  • If you are registered Democrat, you can only vote in the Democratic Primary.

  • If you are registered Republican, you can only vote in the Republican Primary.

  • If you are unaffiliated, you can choose which primary you’d like to vote in.

Can renters vote?  

Yes, renters have the same voting rights in local elections as homeowners do, and living at a rental address qualifies you to register and vote!

You qualify to vote as long as you are a U.S. citizen living in the city of Quincy and are not also voting in another town, municipality, or state.

Renters are a very important demographic in Quincy. Quincy is 54% renters so renters should have a strong voice in Quincy local elections
