KNOW YOUR VOTING RIGHTS • If the polls close while you're in line, stay in line — you have the right to vote no matter how long the wait is. • If you make a mistake on your ballot, ask a poll worker for a new one. • If voting machines are down, request an emergency paper ballot. • DOUBLE CHECK TO ENSURE THE CANDIDATE SELECTED ON THE SCREEN IS ACTUALLY WHO YOU CAST YOUR VOTE FOR AND IF IT IS NOT, ALERT ELECTION WORKERS IMMEDIATELY. • If you witness or experience intimidation or coercion at polls, report it to local or state election officials, the U.S. Department of Justice voting rights hotline (800.253.3931), or the nonpartisan Election Protection Hotline (866.OUR.VOTE). Intimidation, which can include aggressively questioning voters about their citizenship, is a federal crime. NOTE AND DOCUMENT ANY ISSUES YOU SEE AT THE POLLS THAT YOU BELIEVE MAY VIOLATE YOUR RIGHTS OR THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS, OR OTHERWISE IMPEDE ON ONE’S VOTING ABILITY OR ACCESSIBILITY. Additionally, 36 states require some form of voter ID. Check your state's requirements here. IF YOU FORGET YOUR ID, you may able to vote by requesting a provisional ballot. You may also be able to request a provisional ballot if you are not on the voter list at your polling location or an election official otherwise challenges your eligibility. If you still have questions or experience issues on Election Day, contact 886.OUR.VOTE.
