Voting your Ballot - Do's & Don'ts!
- Check your current address on your ID with the current address registered with Voter's Registration -- They must match.
- Use Black or Blue ink--not pencil, color crayons or other colored pens
- If you make a mistake on your Ballot, request a new Ballot. Do not put an X thru it, write 'no' or 'oops' and/or initial it. The voting machine cannot read anything other than the bubble that is marked.
- You must sign your Early Ballot affidavit envelope. Your signature is your ID (Identification). If your signature has changed or you can no longer mark the ballot yourself, contact Voter Registration and they will gladly help resolve the issue.
- Your signature on the affidavit envelope is your proof of ID and does not remain with the ballot once your signature has been verified maintaining your secrecy. Do not sign the ballot.
- If you are mailing back your ballot, allow plenty of time for the mail to deliver it.
- If you are going to the polling site:
- Check to make sure you are listed in the correct precinct,
- Find the correct location of your polling place,
- Take your ID with you, and
- Announce your name to the poll workers at the ID table and they will begin processing your ballot request.
- If your ID does not match the Voter Registration Roster, you may return home for other forms of ID or fill out a Provisional Ballot form and vote a provisional ballot. Through this process Voter Registration will verify your name, address, and signature.
- If you need special assistance let the poll workers know and they will assist you.
