4. Advance Voting
Four days – Friday, Saturday, Sunday and
Monday, the 10th, 9th, 8th and 7th days before
election day – are designated for advance voting.
They are meant to accommodate electors who
will be unable, or do not wish, to vote on election
day. Advance polls are open from noon to 8:00
p.m. The dates and the location of each elector’s
designated advance polling station are indicated
on the voter information card. The voting
procedure is almost the same as at the ordinary
polls. A growing percentage of electors choose to
vote at the advance polls.

An elector whose name is not on the revised
voters list can register in person at the designated
advance polling station by showing satisfactory
proof of identity and address. After having his or
her identity and address verified and signing a
registration certificate, the elector is registered A polling station on Election Day
and handed a ballot.
