KNOW YOUR VOTING RIGHTS

Do you need an ID to vote? If you are asked to show ID and you have it with you, you should do so. HOWEVER, if you do not have ID, YOU CAN ALWAYS VOTE A “PROVISIONAL BALLOT.”
If you are waiting to vote when the polls close… you can vote! As long as you are in line by 8:00p.m. on Election Day
If you need time off from work to vote… you can take up to two hours off work to vote without loss of pay by giving your employer notice in advance (usually the Friday before elections).
If you need help voting because of a disability: If you can’t read or write, or have a physical disability, you can ask for assistance.
If your polling place is inaccessible because you have a physical disability: You can always have a precinct worker come outside the polling place and allow you to vote there.
If you need to take your children to the polling place: You can bring children under 18 into the voting booth with you.
If you make a mistake on your ballot: If you make a mistake, you have the right to twice receive a replacement ballot.

ABSENTEE BALLOTS:

If you have not mailed your ballot by the deadline, you can turn it in to ANY polling place in the city. You can also have a relative or person in your household take your completed ballot in for you as long as YOU sign the envelope and write the name of the person turning it in for you.
If you lost your Absentee Ballot: If you didn’t get or lost your Absentee Ballot, you can vote a “Provisional Ballot” on Election Day.

***PROVISIONAL BALLOTS***

IF THERE IS EVER A QUESTION ABOUT YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE, YOU CAN ALWAYS VOTE BY “PROVISIONAL BALLOT.” You can vote a provisional ballot at ANY polling place in your city. Be sure to fill out your address and sign your “Provisional Ballot” before turning it in!

You should vote provisional if:

You are asked to show ID but don’t have any with you.
Elections officials can’t confirm your registration.
Records show you have moved.
You are at a polling place outside your home precinct.
You never received or failed to turn in your Absentee Ballot.

DO NOT LEAVE THE POLLING PLACE UNTIL YOU HAVE VOTED.
