I read somewhere today (actually, through my school newspaper) that I may have needed to provide a photocopy of ID in order for my absentee vote to be counted. Is that true? I don't think I saw that anywhere in the instructions for voting, although the Duke Chronicle mentioned it. This is really worrying me now.

Call 1-866-Our-Vote They'll tell you if this is true, which I believe it isn't

Election Protection said that there's nothing specified about that. That's weird. Now I don't know who's making up the truth, although recent history suggests that the Chronicle may be.

Dude don't worry. I don't think they won't count your vote. If anything they might delay counting to ensure proper identification is achieved. Relax

:mad : That better not be the case.

 

I didnt provide ID either because it stated nothing about ID. I read those instructions about 10 times and with extreme detail in mind.

 

I think that might be the case in other states but not in Florida(assuming you voted in FL Bulldurham). I think in Florida, the signed affidavit and the ID you show when you register is good enough.

I think so too. I think ID was not required for absentee ballots in here.

Call that number they advertised on the NBC Nightly News last night... 1-800-MY-VOTE1.

my mom sent her ballot without a photo id i hope her vote counts. the ballots just gave you instructions on voting then you sign the ballot nothing about photo id.

This is why I don't prefer to vote absentee. We always take election day in advance, clear our schedules and make voting the priority.

If you register by mail and you are a first-time voter in the county, you are required to provide additional identification. To assure that you will not have problems when you go to vote, you should provide a copy of the required identification at the time you mail your voter registration form. If you are voting an absentee ballot, you must provide the proper identification prior to 7 p.m. election day or your absentee ballot will not count.

so my mother's votes won't count because we sent a ballot out without a photocopy of her id? :mad :

Don't vote absentee you crazy Dutch bastards.

If you believe your vote may have not counted I believe you can vote on a ballot in person but it will not be counted unless your absentee is not. I would call my local supervisor of elections.

uh oh.

So, does this mean my vote won't count? What do I do now?
