If you applied for a Ballot by Mail, but did not receive it, you may go to your polling station and they will have you fill out a provisional ballot until the Clerk’s office can confirm that you have not submitted a Ballot by Mail.
If you received a Ballot by Mail, but decide to vote in-person, you must bring your Ballot by Mail with you and surrender it to the election workers before you vote, if you don’t bring it, you will need to fill out a provisional ballot.
