If you are one of the nearly 19,000 voters whose recent requests to change an address or party affiliation was not processed by the state, go to the polling place for your new address and vote by provisional ballot.

If you're asked for identification, here's what's acceptable: a current, valid photo ID such as a driver's license, MVA ID card, passport, student ID, military card or employee badge. State and federal government ID cards work, too. So does a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or other government document that shows your name and address. What does current mean? Within 3 months of the election.
