** If you received a mail ballot but decide to vote in person, be sure to bring your mail ballot with you to the polls. You need to turn it in to the Election Judges to cast an in-person ballot. Without it, you will still be able to vote but will cast a “provisional" ballot, which means the Election Authority has to verify that you only submitted one ballot before counting it.
