FAQ

Q.

I lost my absentee ballot; can I just go vote on Election Day?

A.

Yes. When you go to vote, a poll worker will verify with the auditor’s office that your absentee ballot has not been returned. If it is confirmed that the auditor’s office has not received a ballot from you then you will be given a new ballot to vote there.

Q.

I just registered and received a card in the mail but there is a mistake on it; what do I do now?

A.

If you notice a mistake on your voter card please contact the Auditor’s Office and/or submit a new registration form to correct your information.
