Check-in process
When you arrive at the polls, you will check in with an election clerk.
You are required to show an acceptable form of photo identification (see ID FOR VOTING)
Showing your voter registration card will make check-in more efficient, as well as provide proof of registration, although it is not required.
You will be be asked to initial or sign a form
The election clerk will give you a ballot card and direct you to a touchscreen voting machine
Three-part voting process
1. insert your ballot card into the voting machine
before selecting candidates, you can adjust the following:
English or Spanish language
size of the words
contrast between the words and the background
use the touchscreen to make your candidate selection for each contest
press "print" once you have made all your selections and double-checked them
the machine will return the ballot card to you with your selections printed on it
2. check the printed ballot card to confirm it contains the selections you made
If something is incorrect on your printed ballot card, ask for a new ballot card—it is your right!
3. take the printed ballot card to the "tabulator" machine and insert it—this is the actual voting or casting of your ballot
The video below shows you how to use the voting machines.
