THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT VOTING ON ELECTION DAY
If you wait until Election Day to wield your power to vote, be sure you're in line — at your assigned precinct — by 7 PM and you will be allowed to vote. If you're still in line when the polls close at 7 PM, STAY IN LINE. Bring your ID, water, snacks, chairs if your polling place is a busy one, and maybe a face mask to be super careful. If you're able, offer a ride to those who need a lift.
If you haven't already dropped off your Vote-by-Mail Ballot, do not mail it. Instead, bring your ballot to the Supervisor of Elections main office before 7 PM on Election Day. Or, you may surrender your mail ballot (or report that you lost it or never received it), and vote in person instead.
If you make a mistake on your ballot, ask for a new one.
Provisional Ballot: if your eligibility to vote cannot be determined at the polls, you are entitled to vote a provisional ballot. When voting provisionally, you will receive a written notice of rights. Voters have until 5 PM on the second day after the election to submit any additional evidence of eligibility to the Supervisor of Elections. If you no longer have your tracking number, contact the Supervisor of Elections office at 904‑255‑VOTE. When calling, be prepared to provide your personal identifying information so staff can look up your ballot status. More information can be found HERE.
