Reminder: DRO's Voter Hotline will be open on Election Day

November 5, 2018 by Stacy Brannan-Smith / voting

 

Tomorrow, November 6, is Election Day, and the polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. DRO's Voter Hotline will be open the same hours at 800-282-9181. DRO staff will be available to answer your questions, and we may be able to help if you think your voting rights are being violated.

Curbside voting is available

If you want to vote at your polling location but have difficulty getting out of your car, you can request that the poll workers bring your ballot to you. When you arrive at your polling place, you must let the poll workers know you are there. You can do this by sending someone inside to tell them or by calling your county board of elections to tell them you're at your polling location and need help. They will then notify the poll workers inside. Two poll workers - one Democrat and one Republican - will come out to your car to assist you. You will still need to provide the correct identification.
