Be sure to have proper identification with you when going to vote. This will ensure that you are able to vote a regular ballot. It is also important to follow instructions carefully. Don't over vote. If you are completing a paper ballot pay attention to the number of candidates you can select. When using the optical scan or touch screen voting machines you will be alerted to any errors on the ballot and you will have to correct the ballot before it will be accepted. Each polling place will have specific instructions for the method of voting.
