KNOW YOUR VOTING RIGHTS!

Voting is the cornerstone of our democracy and all Americans deserve the equal opportunity to make their voices heard on the issues that impact their daily lives. Be an informed and empowered voter by knowing your rights before you show up at the polls!

• If your name is not on the voter registration list, ask for a provisional ballot.

• If you are in line when polls are supposed to close, stay in line – you have the right to vote!

• If you make a mistake on your ballot, you can ask for a new one.

• If the machines are down at your polling place, you can ask for a paper ballot.

• If your citizenship, criminal record, or other qualifications are questioned, immediately call the Election Protection Hotline where trained volunteers are available to help.

• If you encounter or see any problems or have questions before or on Election Day, call the Election Protection Hotline:
