When you go to the polls on Election Day, you will be asked to present voter identification. If you don’t have acceptable photo ID, you can vote by signing an affidavit. The affidavit can be used by 1) voters who don’t have acceptable photo ID or 2) voters who have photo ID – but didn’t bring it to the polls. 

WHY > Casting your vote on the entire ballot for each category is really more like 20 to 30 votes, not just one vote. 

With fewer people voting, every vote carries more weight
