Voter ID – Easy as 1, 2, 3

Bring ID to the polls if you can. It will get you a regular ballot and make it easier to vote.

1. Also bring the last four digits of your social security number to the polls. If your ID is not accepted, you can use these numbers to cast your vote.
2. Remember that if you don’t have ID, you still have a right to vote a provisional ballot. Don’t accept no for an answer.
3. If any election official tries to keep you from voting call us at 1888DEMVOTE.
   

If you do not have ID, or forget your ID on Election Day, you can vote with a provisional ballot.

· If you can tell the poll worker the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number, then your provisional ballot should be counted.
· If you do not give the poll worker the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number, then you must bring ID or your SSN to the county Board of Elections office by November 17 so that your provisional ballot will be counted.
