One copy of this credential must be filled out for EACH precinct you will be visiting. If you leave the precinct and return later, you may be asked to present a NEW copy of the credential, so make sure you have enough copies for your needs during the day. You may fill out the left side of the credential page and make copies of it to take with you. But do not sign your credential until you are in front of an election judge.
