  • Go behind the privacy booth. 
  • Mark your choice for each ballot type.
  • Fold each ballot so that your markings are concealed and the initials of the election worker who issued the ballot(s) are visible.

3. Bring your ballot(s) to the Ballot Box Officer:

  • Place each marked ballot into the designated ballot box.
  • The ballot is stored in the sealed ballot box.

You have now completed the voting process and should leave the voting station.

If you are unable to vote at an Advance Vote station or at your designated station on Election Day you can request a mail-in ballot.
