Election Day Guide |
- Go to the Right Place
Poll locations can change. Be sure to locate your polling place
before you go to vote. Check www.VOTE411.org or contact the elections
office or board of elections for your county, city or state.
- Bring I.D.
You may need to show I.D. at the polling place. To be safe, bring
your driver’s license or another photo I.D. In some places, a
current utility bill, paycheck or other document that includes
your name and street address may also work.
- Get a Ballot
Don’t panic if you registered to vote but your name is not on
the list. Get help from a poll worker to make sure your vote is
counted. You should be given a provisional ballot or given directions
to another polling place.
- Get Help
Poll workers are there to help you. They’ll show you how to use
the voting machine or give you a provisional ballot if you need
one. Ask, or read the signs at your polling place, which have
instructions, list your voting rights, and say how to file a complaint.
- Stay and Vote
You probably won’t have to wait too long. But even if the line
is long, don’t leave without voting. The outcome of this election
will be important!
- Access to Polls and Voting
Handicapped or elderly voters who cannot access the polling place can request
to vote outside the entrance. Make the request to the election authority the
day before the election.
