Polling-place procedures
Voters will be asked to show two forms of identification: a signature identification and a photo identification. Some IDs that have both a photo and signature, such as a driver license, can be accepted as a single form of identification. More on polling-place procedures.
Mail-in ballots:
The deadline to request a vote-by-mail ballot is Oct. 23. You have to make a new request after every general election, so don’t assume it will come automatically.
There are three ways to request a vote-by-mail ballot:
- Online: Start the process here
