What happens when you go to vote without an ID

You can vote using a provisional ballot. For your ballot to count, the signature on your provisional ballot envelope must match the signature in your voter registration record. To ensure your ballot is counted, you may also bring an acceptable ID to the polling place before it closes on Election Day OR bring an acceptable ID to the municipal clerk by 4:00 pm on the Friday following the election.
