Tips for Anyone Voting in Person. Please Stay Safe Out There.

• Review your ballot online before you go to the polls. That will give you a chance to research candidates in advance to minimize the amount of time you have to spend at the polls.
• Check your polling place and/or call your municipal clerk before you go. Polling places have changed in many communities.
• Bring your Acceptable Photo ID to vote. 
• Plan to go during "off-peak" hours - Polls are open 7am-8pm on Election Day. The busiest times are 7am-9am, 11am-1:30pm, and 5pm-7pm.
• If your polling place is offering drive-through voting, take advantage of it.
• Consider bringing your own black pen for marking your ballot.
• If you must leave your car to vote, practice social distancing. Wash your hands before & after you vote. 
• Be patient and courteous. Election workers are doing their best under difficult circumstances. 
• Reminder: You have the right to take up to 3 hours of unpaid time off from work to vote. You just need to give your employer at least 24 hours notice and they can pick which hours you take.
