Travel Board
Some voters are eligible to cast their vote through the use of the travel board. The travel board consists of two poll workers, one from each major party.

You may be eligible to vote through the use of the travel board if you are:
-
Experiencing illness or injury,
-
Caring for a person who will be confined at home on Election Day, or
-
A voter with a disability who’s polling place is not accessible.
In order to vote through the use of the travel board, you must complete and submit a one-page application by noon on Monday, November 4, 2024 to your County Clerk’s office.

You’ll need to present a government-issued photo ID before you cast a ballot, unless you have a religious objection to being photographed or live in a state-licensed facility that also serves as your polling place, like a nursing home. You can find examples of acceptable photo IDs here. The secretary of state’s website has more information about how to claim photo ID exemption.
