Where can I find official voting information and polling locations for the December 2, 2025 special election?

1. Where to go first: the official state or county election website

Election administration in the U.S. is run locally; your authoritative sources are your state Secretary of State, state elections office, or your county/city registrar. These sites host voter lookup tools that give your precinct’s Election Day polling location, early voting sites, sample ballots and return/dropbox addresses — for example, Virginia’s Polling Place and Ballot Information Lookup lets you enter your full address and shows your Election Day polling location and early voting sites ^[1]. County election offices (Fairfax County, Prince George’s County, San Bernardino, Santa Clara, Cobb County and others in the search results) also publish localized instructions and schedules ^{[2] [5] [6] [7] [8]}.

2. Use lookup tools; don’t rely on national headlines for your precinct

National websites such as Ballotpedia and Wikipedia list which special elections exist and the dates they’re scheduled — Ballotpedia identified Tennessee’s 7th District special election on December 2, 2025, and Wikipedia lists a December 2 Tennessee special election among other 2025 contests — but these sources do not replace a precinct lookup for where you personally vote ^{[3] [4]}. Once you know which jurisdiction is holding a December 2 contest, go to that jurisdiction’s election office site and use its address or polling‑place lookup tool ^{[1] [8]}.

3. Examples in the record: what the sources show about December contests

Ballotpedia’s special‑elections tracker explicitly shows an upcoming special election — Tennessee’s 7th — set for December 2, 2025 ^[3]. Wikipedia’s 2025 elections page also lists Tennessee’s December 2 special election among 2025 special elections ^[4]. These sources are useful for confirming that a December 2 federal or state special election is scheduled somewhere, but they do not provide your local polling location; for that you must consult the state or county election office ^{[3] [4] [1]}.

4. Practical steps to find your polling place and official guidance

1) Identify the jurisdiction holding the special election (state, county, district) via Ballotpedia/Wikipedia or local news ^{[3] [4]}. 2) Go to that state’s elections site or your county registrar and use the Polling Place or Voter Information lookup by entering your street address and ZIP code (Virginia example: Polling Place and Ballot Information Lookup) ^[1]. 3) Download or view your sample ballot and Voter Information Guide from the local registrar; counties frequently publish voter guides and dropbox lists (examples: Prince George’s County and San Bernardino County pages) ^{[5] [6]}.

5. Deadlines, mail ballots and early voting: check local rules

Rules and deadlines — deadline to request a mailed ballot, postmark/return rules, early voting windows and same‑day registration — differ by state and county. Fairfax County’s special‑election page lists a December 1 ballot request deadline and early voting windows for its December contests; state and county pages also list ballot dropbox hours and postmark requirements ^{[2] [5]}. Always verify the exact cutoffs and whether same‑day or provisional voting is available at your precinct through the local election office ^{[2] [6]}.

6. Pitfalls, misinformation risks and what reporters watch for

National calendars and news reports can mislead voters about where to cast a ballot if readers assume a statewide look applies to their precinct. Aggregators (Ballotpedia, Wikipedia) accurately list scheduled special elections but do not substitute for precinct lookup tools ^{[3] [4]}. Local election offices sometimes change polling locations or add satellite early‑vote sites; always refresh the official county/state page shortly before election day ^{[1] [9]}.

7. If you still can’t find your polling place

Contact your county or city elections office by phone — most county sites give contact information and hotlines — or use the state election office’s citizen portal/polling lookup tool; the Virginia site explicitly directs voters to local registrars for early voting and dropbox information ^{[1] [9]}. If your jurisdiction is in Arizona, the state SOS and county pages (for example Pima) instruct voters to check county portals for locations ^[10].

Limitations and sourcing note: this guidance relies on the election‑office, county and aggregator pages in the search results; specific precinct polling locations are not listed in these sources for individual voters and must be retrieved through your state/county lookup tool or local registrar (available sources do not mention your individual address or exact polling place).
