Every household will receive an envelope that contains all the cards for the residents.
“In order to ensure the fastest service possible, we encourage voters to bring their voter information cards with them,” said chief electoral officer Kim Poffenroth in a news release.
“Using hand-held scanners, polling staff can scan the unique bar code printed on each card to quickly find the voter’s name on the voters list stored on the laptop computers set up at the polling stations.”
Eligible voters who do not receive a card can still show up to the polling station where a team will check to make sure the person is on the voters list. People can be added to the voters list at that time as well.
