 •  Voters can bring their own pen – Blue or Black ink – Sharpie or Paper Mate Flair recommended (machines will not read red ink/highlighters; pencil/crayons cause issues with tabulator breakdowns).

• You are casting a provisional or challenged ballot;
• The poll worker has a reasonable suspicion that leads them to request identification.
  
  Acceptable identification must include your name and the address at which you are registered to vote.
