What Do I Need to Bring on the Day?
If possible, go early in the morning or late at night! Polls Open: 6 AM – 9 PM. There are sometimes lines, so bring a small snack or some water. I usually go towards the end of the day around 8/8:30 PM, and it's quite quiet. Remember, if you're already in line when the polls close, you STILL have the right to vote.
Some places of employment give a time allowance to vote. At my old job, people were allowed to show up late or leave early to vote. See if your job has something similar. (We should all get the day off, but I digress.)
Bring an ID. If you’re a registered voter, you won’t need it. However, if it’s your first time voting, you must show ID. For more info, check out the details here.
Remember NOT to wear overtly political attire. You could be turned away. More information here. (Sorry, I do not have a gift link.)
