FAQs: How do I find my member number? Your member number is located on the back of your member card. If you have a blue or green plastic card, skip the first two digits at the beginning of your card and the very last number on your card. My password isn’t working. What should I do? The zip code associated with your login is the one we have on file in our member database. It is likely the zip code you provided when you became a member. If you moved and did not update your member information, you may want to try logging in again with your old zip code. We encourage you to update your member information the next time you are in the store. How do I update my Member Information? Visit Customer Service the next time you are in the store.
What if I don't want to provide an email address? Email addresses provide a secondary unique identifier for each member account, and help us to verify that a real, distinct person has submitted the online ballot. If you do not want to provide an email, stop by Customer Service. They will look up your membership in the database and print you a ballot with your name and member number already printed on it.
I’m still having trouble logging in. Am I still able to vote? Yes! Members can vote in person at the Customer Service desk. - The primary member should present a photo ID at Customer Service.
- Customer service will look up your membership in the database and print you a ballot with your name and member number already printed on it.

Some important things to remember:
- We can only accept one ballot per membership number.
- If a household has a membership, only one vote is allowed from that household. If there are multiple votes from one membership number, ALL will be disqualified.
- Do not allow anyone else to fill in your ballot or deposit it in the ballot box for you.
