  • Each voter will be given three ballots (one for each major party) but you can only vote on one party’s ballot.
  • The ballot you vote on will be fed through the vote tabulator and the two unvoted ballots will need to go in the box indicated at the polling place.
  • If you are voting absentee, you must return all three ballots as directed in the instructions enclosed with the ballot package..

If you have moved into the City since you last voted, you will need to register as a new voter. See Voter Registration above for information on registering to vote. If moving here from out of state you will need to provide proof of residency.
