How
to Cast a Ballot
Go to your polling
place on election day. An election judge will check if you're on the
list of voters. Then you'll get a ballot. If you can't go to your
polling place on election day, you can request an absentee ballot.
Vote! An election
judge will show you how the ballot works, and you can ask for help
with reading or marking the ballot if you need it. After voting, take
your ballot to the ballot box. How you vote is secret. Asking people
about their votes or campaigning is not allowed in or around the polling
place!
