You must vote in the precinct where you live. A list of precinct polling places and a sample ballot are printed in local newspapers before each election. You may need to show indentification at the poll if:
  • You registered to vote by mail after January 1, 2003andyou have never voted in a primary or general election in this County, or
  • Your registration is inactive, or
  • You have moved from the address where you are registered to vote, or
  • Your right to vote is challenged, or
  • The precinct election officials don't know you.

You can use any of these forms of identification:
  • Current and valid phot ID card
  • Copy of a current document that shows your name and address, such as: a utility bill, bank statement, government check, or paycheck.

If your name is not on the list of registered voters, or if someone challenges your right to vote, you have the right to cast aprovisional ballot. Your ballot will be put in an envelope. The envelope has a place for you to explain why you believe that the ballot should count. A special board will meet after election day to look at your registration record and the information you have provided. The board will decide if your ballot can be counted. Before you leave the polls, you will be given a written notice explaining your voting rights and listing the date on which the special ballot board will meet. If your ballot is not counted, you will receive a letter in the mail explaining why it is not counted.
