If you find yourself needing to vote by provisional ballot in Illinois on November 5th, there are a few important things to understand.

A provisional ballot is used when there are questions about a voter's eligibility. It allows the voter to cast their vote, which will be counted once the eligibility is confirmed.

In Illinois, voters may need to use a provisional ballot if they do not appear on the voter rolls or cannot provide necessary identification at the polling place. After voting provisionally, voters should follow up with election authorities to ensure their votes are counted.

The Belleville News-Democrat provides guidance on how to proceed with voting via provisional ballot in Illinois.
