or (2) a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement,
government check, paycheck or other government document that
shows your name and address. Otherwise, you may be required
to show election officials either (1) or (2) above the first
time you vote in a federal election.

the registration books close for the next election. You can

must include your signature to be valid. Notice cannot be made
