• Secrecy in Voting: Secrecy in voting will be preserved for all elections.
• Freedom in Voting: Cast your vote, free from coercion or intimidation by poll workers or any other person.
• Permanent Registration: Once registered to vote, you will continue to remain qualified to vote from an address within your county or city.
• Accessible Elections: Non-discriminatory equal access to the election system for all voters, including the elderly, disabled, alternative language minorities, military and overseas citizens, as required by federal and state laws.
