Registered voters in line to vote at a designated polling place at 7 p.m. will be able to vote. Voters are encouraged to take their Voter Identification Card when they go to the polls. Most likely, one official said, the card won't be needed but if an administrative error has occurred, having the card will guarantee the elector's right to vote. Absentee ballot requests indicate a strong voter interest in the upcoming election. Improper marking has been a primary reason ballots have been disqualified for several years.
Election officials suggest voters overcome the problem by filling-in the gap to connect the arrow.
Posters are displayed at each polling place showing the correct way to mark the ballot. The valid marking also appears at the top of each ballot. If you make a mistake marking your ballot, don't try to correct it. Take the spoiled ballot back to the precinct official. They will destroy it and give you a new one.
