Most registered voters know to make changes when Thursday morning on the lake they change their name or address. However, updating their signature may not be on the top of their minds. It is es- pecially important for those who intend to cast absentee ballots. The signature on your ballot envelope must match the signature on your voter record. Those who think their sig- nature has changed, for whatever reason, should check it out with the elections office. That may be done by mail or in person. The voter registration application can be used for changes in sig- nature, address, name, party affiliation or to register to vote.
