....Bysiewicz said it is important for first-time voters to bring identification or proof of residency such as a utility bill, government check or government document to their polling place.
"We want to make sure that people know what they need to bring," said Bysiewicz, who is deploying two staffers to the 4th District alone to oversee voting.
The state has set up a special hotline at (866) 733-2463 to handle voting-related questions and complaints.
In preparation for a possible record turnout, the secretary of the state's office also ordered and distributed about 2.3 million regular paper ballots for today's election, which is 10 percent more than the 2,097,635 total number of registered voters in the state.
Although it is too late to register to vote for Congress or General Assembly, individuals can obtain a presidential election ballot from their local town clerk's office with proof of residency on Election Day.
