I wouldn't have known, if a friend who worked at the election place hadn't told me. A person's veter registration name had to match the voter I.D. ( usually Driver's License) exactly, or there would be a problem voting.

My driver's license was Honeycomb Anderson Smith (my maiden name was used for the middle name - not my choice; the STATE did that automatically), but my voter registration was Honeycomb Anna Smith. Because my friend told me, I had time to request my voter registration name be changed.

In my new state, I made sure they match. AND my Social Security is an exact match. AND I have a certified copy of my birth certificate, now (I had to provide that to get a driver's license).

This affects a lot of women, whose names change when they marry or get divorced.
