Following the removal of an incorrect sign regarding voter identification, Ulster County elections officials are reminding voters that ID is not required to cast a ballot at poll sites in New York.

The Ulster County Board of Elections said the sheriff's department was called Sunday to "remove a sign that falsely claimed voters needed to provide ID in order to vote. This action followed a complaint filed with the New York State Attorney General's Office, which swiftly addressed the issue."

The election board said voters' identities are verified through signatures, not IDs, and that misinformation regarding voter IDs "poses a threat to the democratic process and is being taken seriously."
