Last Minute Voting: Essential Information for the Elections
Know Your Voting Options
Before heading to the polls, research the different voting options available in your area. Determine if early voting or absentee voting is an option. Early voting allows you to cast your ballot before Election Day, while absentee voting enables you to vote by mail. If you choose to vote on Election Day, identify your polling place and its operating hours.
Identification Requirements
Most states require voters to provide identification at the polls. The specific requirements vary by state, so check your local election authority's website to determine what forms of ID are acceptable. Common forms of identification include a driver's license, state ID card, or passport.
