Contact your county registrar’s office to find out if there is an election on September 18 in your county. If you have questions or need more information or have difficulty getting a FREE Voter Identification Card, you can contact your county registrar’s office or the Secretary of State, Elections Division.
You are not required to include any identification when you vote absentee by mail.
