 Subject: MASSMAIL - STUDENT VOTER INFORMATION

WHEN TO VOTE:  
Election Day is tomorrow, Tuesday, November 2, 2004.
Polling places are open from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
 
Since voting may take longer than you expect, be prepared to face a wait. 
Show up early just in case. If you are in line at the polling place 
before closing time at 7 pm, you will be allowed to vote, even if 
everyone is not able to vote until after 7 pm.
 
SAMPLE BALLOT:
A sample ballot is available online at: 
http://www.champaigncountyclerk.com/fullspecimen.pdf
 
WHAT TO BRING: 
When you go to the polling place make sure you have two things that have 
your name and local address:
 
One of these two things must be one of the following:
Bank statement
Utility bill
Paycheck
Government refund check


Any government document showing your name and address, this includes 
anything you may have received from the University of Illinois 
 
If you live in the University Residence Halls, you can get a Move-In 
Notice as proof of your address from:
 
University Housing
100 Clark Hall
1203 S. Fourth St.
Champaign, IL 61820
 
If you registered by mail, through a registration kiosk, or by Motor 
Voter, you are required to present ID. It is possible to check whether or 
not you will be required to show ID due to how you registered by checking 
your voter registration status here, as well as your designated polling 
place: https://www.champaigncountyclerk.com/registrationstatus.asp 
 
Even if you are not listed as having to show ID to vote, it is better to 
be prepared in the event of complications.
 
WHERE TO VOTE: 
Follow this link if you aren't sure where your local polling place is:
http://www.champaigncountyclerk.com/registrationstatus.asp
 
WHAT IF YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE:
Regardless of what happens, you should be able to cast a provisional 
ballot. Even if your vote is successfully challenged, your name is not on 
the list of registered voters, or you are not able to present proper 
identification, you should still be able to cast a provisional ballot as 
a last resort. When you cast such a ballot, you should be informed how to 
resolve the complication that prevented you from voting, which you will 
likely be required to do within the next day or two.
 
If you feel that your right to vote has been violated, you should 
immediately contact your local election authority, the local States 
Attorneys office, or the Federal Election Commission. 

Additionally, if you believe you are unjustly kept from voting or if 
there is an unreasonable delay at your polling place, we encourage you to 
contact the local media to tell your story. The Daily Illini newsroom can 
be reached at 337-8351, the News-Gazette newsroom can be reached 351-5252.
 
QUESTIONS:
If you have any questions or concerns regarding voting
you can contact the Champaign County Clerk at 384-3720.
