Voters must be able to provide
one form of identification, either a
voter’s registration card or driver’s
license, according to city secretary
Donna Madrid.
Newly registered voters who will be
voting for the first time must
provide two forms of identification;
such as voter’s registration card,
driver’s license, a personal
identification card issued by DPS,
birth certificate, photo name badge
from place of employement,
current utility bill showing voter’s
name and address, passport,
government paycheck or other
government document showing
voter’s name and address, current
bank statement, or any papers
that show U.S. citizenship.
“If you registered by mail to vote
and did not provide a form of id
when you registered, then the
voter registrar will require you to
show two forms of ids,” Madrid
said.  “With no id, your vote will not
count.”
Election officials also attended
training last week on curbside
voting. During election day on May
9 curbside voting will be provided.
Voters who are unable to enter the
polling place can send someone
inside to ask an election official to
come to the car.
“If they need to make special
arrangements for early voting,
they can call city hall at 728-3464,”
Madrid said.
