FAQ

Q.

What if I lost my ID or forgot to take one with me to the polls?

Starting in 2019, if you do not have you ID with you, you may either cast  a provisional ballot or have another registered voter attest to their identity.

Can I vote for someone that is not on the ballot?

Yes. For each race on the ballot, a line is provided for you to write-in the name of someone for whom you wish to vote for. Make sure you color in the oval!
