What to Know on Election Day
 

Here are a few pointers to make your next trip to the polls as convenient as possible.

The first thing is to plan ahead.  You can check your voter registration and polling place location at www.indianavoters.com, you can also check you polling place location on this website, by clicking here.  For more information, please contact our office.

The next step is to bring your I.D. with you!  All voters must provide a government issued photo ID before they may cast a ballot.  Identification must meet certain criteria:

	It must display the voter's photo.
	It must have the voter's name, which must conform to the voter's registration record.
	It must display an expiration date and must be either current, or have expired after the last general election date (November 2, 2004).
	It must be issued by either the State of Indiana or by the United States government

If you have registered to vote but you name isn't on the list, don't panic.  Ask a poll worker for help to make sure that your vote gets counted.  They may direct you to a different polling location, or give you a provisional ballot.

Read the directions.  The polling places have signs with a wide range of helpful information; directions on how to use the machines, a listing of your rights as a voter, and instructions on how to file a complaint if those rights are violated. 

If you are unsure of what to do, ask questions.  The poll workers are there to help.  They  can show you how to work the voting machines, and they can give you a provisional ballot if you need one.  If you're at the wrong polling location, they can tell you how to get to the right one.
