How to vote:

For eligible voters, voting on Election Day or at an advance vote day will be easy, and results will arrive quickly after the close of polls on Voting Day. Here is how it works:

Identification Required: Identification will be required at the voting station to verify your identity and qualifying address. To see what constitutes valid identification, see Identification Rules for Voting.

1. When you arrive at the voting station, you will receive your paper ballot in a privacy folder from the Deputy Returning Officer according to your school support (showing on the voters’ list) and be directed to a voting booth to mark your ballot.
2. Use the marking pen at the voting booth to fill in the oval next to the candidate(s) of your choice for each office listed on the ballot.
3. Once you are done voting, place the ballot back in the privacy folder supplied to you with the Deputy Returning Officers’ initials showing, and bring it to the Tabulating Officer who will insert the ballot into the vote tabulator to record your vote. Once read, the vote tabulator will place the ballot into the ballot box.

Note: If the voting station is closing, you will be allowed to complete your vote if you are in line at the voting place prior to 8:00 p.m.
