At least here in California, every voter is assigned a location where they vote. The voting location has a list of everyone assigned there and checks your name (and address) off their list when you show up. If you're not on the list or if your name is already checked off you can't vote.
- pas 8y agoDo you have to prove your name and address somehow? Or you have to simply say it and they see if it's on the list?
- mdorazio 8y agoGood question. I've always given them my ID to verify, but I'm not sure if that's actually required. I assume that it's not required and if they mark your name off the list, then someone else gives the same name/address they know there's a fraud situation and then there's some kind of followup.
