Where will I vote? The registrar will send you a voter registration card with the name and location of your polling place. You may also go to the state website at this link to find your polling place information. When are the polls open? The polls open at 6:00 a.m. and close at 7:00 p.m. If you are in line when the polls close, you may still vote. When do elections take place?
What is a Primary? A primary is an election in which a candidate is chosen to represent a political party for a particular office in an election. The Democratic and Republican parties may nominate their candidates by either a primary election or by convention or mass meeting. Can anyone vote in a primary election? If you are a registered voter, you may vote in any primary. However, if a primary is held for both parties in the same election district, you must choose in which party primary you wish to vote and may vote in only one. What if I move within the 29 days the books are closed? You are eligible to return to your precinct and vote. At that time you must change your address or name to be eligible for future elections. If you move out of the state, you will not be allowed to vote except in Federal elections for President and Vice President only. Can I vote from the curbside? Any voter age 65 or older or physically disabled may vote from the curbside. They may request a paper ballot which will be brought to them by an officer of election. They mark the ballot in the presence of the officer of election, but are given sufficient privacy. They place the ballot in an envelope and return it to the officer of election, who will then return it to the polling place and deposits it in the ballot box. |
