BE SURE YOUR VOTE COUNTS
~~~~~~~~~~
TAKE THE RIGHT ID TO THE POLLS
You must present ONE of these in order to vote:
-
a government photo ID
(Ohio Driver's license or State ID - showing
either your current
or your former address, as long a the ID has not expired),
OR ONE of the following that shows your current address:
-
military ID, or
-
copy of a current utility bill,
or
-
bank statement, or
-
paycheck, or
-
government check, or
-
government document showing your
name and current address.
(NOTE: You cannot use the notice
you received
from the Board of Elections.)
NO PROPER ID ?
If you are a registered voter but don't have any
acceptable form of ID when you come to the polls, you still have a right
to cast
a provisional ballot, which should be counted if:
-
You truthfully affirm in writing
that you are an eligible and registered voter,
AND
-
You do just ONE of the following
things:
-
provide the last four digits
of your Social Security number at the polling place, or
-
provide either a valid form
of ID or the last four digits of your Social Security number within
10 days of the election, or
-
if you don't have any acceptable
form of ID or a Social Security number, you affirm that fact in
writing.
Above all,
if you are at the correct precinct,
don't leave the polls without
at least voting a provisional
ballot.
ABSENTEE BALLOT
You are entitled to vote by absentee ballot in Ohio
without providing a reason. Absentee ballot applications may be obtained
from the Stark County Board of Election or the Ohio Secretary of State.
