Deputy Moderator Outlines Important Information for Primary

Don't forget to bring a photo ID!

By Lee Wells

Primary Election Day is Tuesday, September 13. Voting will be at AE/MS from 8 AM to 7 PM.
Please don’t forget to bring a photo id!

You will receive the Primary Ballot that corresponds with your party registration.  If you need to check your registration, please go to the Secretary of State’s website at SOS.NH.gov.  On the home page, you will see a picture of waving US flags labeled “Personal Voter Information Lookup”; click on that link. Then click on “View My Voter Information.”  Fill in the requested information, submit it, and be sure to scroll down (beyond the message: “We cannot locate absentee ballot information for this voter”) to find your voter information. 

If you are registered as “undeclared,” you will need to declare as a Democrat or as a Republican to receive the ballot of your choice.  If you would like your voter registration to return to “undeclared” after you have voted, be sure to check in with one of the Supervisors of the Checklist to change back to undeclared before leaving the polling place.

You may register to vote on Primary Election Day.  You register with one of the Supervisors of the Checklist. In order to register you need to bring proof of identity, age, citizenship, and residency with you. A driver’s license, passport, or other photo ID will work for ID and age. Tax or utility bills addressed to you will show where you live.  A birth certificate, passport, or naturalization papers will prove citizenship.

If it will be difficult for you to get from your car to the polling station, you may request curbside voting.  Please pull your car up to the curb area near the central sidewalk to the school, and let the greeter know that you would like to vote curbside.  You will be brought an absentee ballot application and an absentee ballot.

Please be an informed voter. Take the time to look at the sample ballots in the Beacon and do some research on the candidates.
