You may vote a provisional ballot if you meet specific conditions.
You can cast a provisional ballot if:
- A poll manager or any voter has reason to believe that you might be ineligible to vote
- Your name does not appear on the voter registration rolls
- You do not have your proper photo ID
All provisional ballots are kept separate and not counted on election night. You will be given written instructions on the time and place of the provisional ballot hearings and, if the voter registration office can determine you were registered, the provisional ballot will be counted.
Provisional Ballots are counted before the Friday after a General Election or the Thursday after a Primary or Runoff Election. You can check the status of your provisional ballot online.
