You may register to vote if you are at least 17 years and 10 months of age on the date the application is submitted, but you must be 18 years of age to actually vote in an election.
NOTE
Each voter registration application states that "giving false information
to procure a registration is perjury, and a crime under state and federal law."
ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION MUST BE COMPLETED ON THE APPLICATION BEFORE IT CAN BE PROCESSED. AN APPLICATION MISSING REQUIRED INFORMATION WILL NOT BE PROCESSED, IT WILL BE RETURNED TO THE SENDER.
IF YOU MOVE WITHIN THE COUNTY OR YOUR NAME CHANGES
Notify the voter registrar in writing of the changed information by:
* correcting the information on your current voter registration certificate,
sign the back of the certificate, and return it to the registrar, or
* if you do not have your voting certificate, send a note giving the old
information as you were registered and the new information for updating, or
* complete a voter registration application, indicating "change", or
* completing a statement of residence at the time of voting
You will be eligible to vote in your new precinct on the 30th day after the registrar receives the notice, meanwhile you may continue to vote in your old precinct. Before you are allowed to vote in the old precinct, the election judge will ask you to fill out a statement of residence confirming your new address.
You may vote without your certificate by showing another form of identification.
IF YOU MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTY
You must re-register in the county of your new residence by completing a voter registration application and mailing it to that county's voter registrar.
You may be eligible to vote a limited ballot in the county of your new residence during the first 90 days after you move if:
* you would have been eligible to vote in the county of former residence on
Election day if you had still lived in that county;
* the date of the election is not more than 90 days after the new residence
is established; and
* your voter registration in the county of new residence is not effective on or before election day.
VOTING BY A LIMITED BALLOT MUST BE DONE DURING THE EARLY VOTING PERIOD.
