FAQs

I recently got a letter from you about voting on September 14th, but it came addressed to my maiden name. I have legally changed my name on my social security card and drivers license - will that be reflected when I go to vote in the primary? I don't want to be turned away because my ID doesn't recognize my name on file. Thanks! Sarah Leonard
