3. When will we know who won? Unofficial election returns are available after the polls close at 7 p.m. on Election night. Unofficial returns are updated throughout the night as the precincts report in. Keep an eye on your local Patch site for updates on local and statewide races.
4. I'm disabled and might need some help voting. What should I do? All polling places are wheelchair accessible. The availability of accessible voting equipment does not mean you must use the equipment. You may ask an election official to assist or bring an assistant with you. Voters who do not vote absentee and are physically incapable of entering the polling place, or are 65-years-old and older, have the option of voting curbside. Call the number posted outside the poll or send someone into the poll to notify an election officer of your need to vote curbside.
5. Who is on the ballot? In the statewide races, these are the names you will see (we've added links to campaign websites).
