Paper ballot

If your county uses paper ballots, follow these simple directions:

  1. When you walk into the polling place, hand the poll worker your voter registration certificate. After you’ve been qualified to vote and sign the combination form, pick up a ballot from the table and proceed to the next available voting booth.
  2. Read the directions carefully at the top of the ballot and then mark your selections using the indelible marker or pen (a marker or pen that cannot be erased) provided to you.
  3. Once you’re finished, place the voted ballot in the ballot box.
