With the election just hours away, here is what you need to know before you vote.
1. How do I vote?
Fill in the complete box next to the emblem or name of the candidate, as the new instructions from the CEE indicate. The new guidelines are meant to ensure the machine reads the vote.
2. How many ballots are there?
When you go to vote, you will receive the following ballots:
Municipal Ballot
On the municipal ballot, you will vote for a mayoral candidate and for the maximum number of municipal legislators specified on the document.
Legislative Ballot
On the legislative ballot, you will select candidates for the Senate and the House of Representatives. You may vote for two senators by district and one at large. You may also choose one representative by district and one at large.
State Ballot
On the state ballot, you will choose the resident commissioner and the island's governor.
What do I need to bring to vote?
To vote, you must bring your voter registration card, driver's license, passport or any other official government-issued photo ID.
If I lost my voter registration card, can I still vote?
According to the Comisión Estatal de Elecciones (CEE), yes, but you must be registered and must have voted in the last election (2020) or in the 2016 election. If so, you must bring your driver's license or passport as identification.
Likewise, if you registered this year and lost your card, you can exercise your right using your identification documents.
What happens if I was one of the people who submitted an early vote and marked an x?
Your vote is not lost. According to the CEE, those votes will be counted by hand.
