A Few Things to Remember:
Must show photo ID before voting. COVE suggests you take your voter registration card with you. Although the card is not required, it will help the Poll Workers resolve any issues should they arise.
Felons who have completely finished their sentence may vote. If there is a question concerning the registration for any individual who has completed serving their term, direct them to County Parole and Pardon Services located in office #6500 in County Square Office Building.
