Don’t forget a form of ID when you go to vote

— Voters are reminded that poll workers are required by law to ask for identification that proves residency at voters’ current addresses.
Accepted are photo IDs (including driver’s licenses), copy of a utility bill, paycheck stub, military ID, government check or any similar document that displays address.
The postcard sent to residents by the election board several weeks ago is not a suitable proof of residency, officials said.
Voters may cast an absentee ballot in person at the election board office, 8 W. Walnut St., Jefferson, until 4:30 p.m. today. Polls are open Tuesday between 6:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.
