5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ON ELECTION DAY

en Español

1. GO TO THE RIGHT PLACE - Poll locations can change. Be sure to read your Sample Ballot. It contains the name, address and a map of your polling place location. You can also visit www.orangevotes2008.com or call (407) 836-VOTE.

2. BRING I.D. – Florida law requires that you show some type of photo and signature identification. Examples include your Drivers License or State ID, a Military ID, a Student ID, or a Public Assistance ID. If you arrive at the polling place without ID, you'll be allowed to vote a Provisional Ballot.

3. GET A BALLOT – Don't panic if you registered to vote but your name is not on the list. Get help from a poll worker to research the situation. They can call the Elections Office for help in resolving the matter.

4. GET HELP – Remember that you can bring a family member or friend to help you read or mark your ballot if you need assistance. Also, poll workers are there to help, if needed. They'll show you how to use the voting equipment, get you a replacement ballot if you mis-mark the first one or answer any questions you may have regarding the voting process.

5. STAY AND VOTE – You probably won't have to wait too long. But even if the line is long, don't leave without voting. The outcome of this election will be important!

 

3 WAYS TO MAKE VOTING
A BREEZE

en Español

1. CHECK YOUR NAME – Before Election Day, check the Web at www.orangevotes2008.com or call (407) 836-VOTE to verify your registration is current.

2. AVOID THE CROWDS – Vote by mail. Request an absentee ballot by visiting www.orangevotes2008.com or calling (407) 836-VOTE. Early Voting is also an option. It starts 15 days before the election and is available in select libraries around the county. Locations are available online. If you decide to go to the polls, go during off hours: 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. That's when it's likely to be less crowded.

3. TAKE A FRIEND TO VOTE – Why go alone when you can take a friend or loved one to vote?
