I have not received a Voters Letter / I lost my Voters Letter

If you have not received your letter by October 14th, or lost your letter, a new one may be provided. In the case of a new letter, the voting PIN from the initial letter becomes disabled.
What is my PIN / Security?
Your PIN is a unique series of numbers that appears on your Voters Letter which allow you to vote electronically (internet or telephone).
With your PIN, you will be asked to provide your date of birth to help verify your identity. The day and month are two digits long, so if your birthday is in January 1st, you would enter 01 01.
