What if I have special needs at the polls?

A person may receive assistance from someone of their choice or the two precinct judges at the polls. A person may not be assisted by their employer, his or her agent, a union officer, or agent of that voter's union.
How do I know where to vote?
You will receive a notice in the mail which lists your precinct name and your voting location address. The polls are open from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, local time. You can contact your County Clerk's office for any question concerning where to vote.
