GOING ELECTRONIC

To see a video and read a story about how the machines work, visit bcdemocrat.com/2016/08/30/hi_tech or stop by the clerk’s office in the courthouse to try using a machine.

ELECTION DAY

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 8. Brown County polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. To find your polling place and see a ballot with candidates for all offices, including state and national, visit indianavoters.com and type in your address.

BRING ID

All walk-in absentee and Election Day voters need to present a government-issued photo identification prior to voting. In order to be acceptable, the identification must state the name of the voter, contain the voter’s photograph, have an expiration date and still be valid or expired after Nov. 4, 2014, and be issued by U.S. or Indiana government.
