Protect Yourself: What Every Voter Needs to Know Before Nov.4

PROTECT YOURSELF
WHAT EVERY VOTER NEEDS TO KNOW BEFORE NOV.4

Given the unprecedented registration and excitement during this election season, and the reports we’re seeing on Early Vote, we can expect a record high turnout on Election Day, November 4.  A higher turnout, particularly with lots of first time voters can also increase the number of problems at the polls.  To make sure everyone gets the opportunity to vote and has their vote counted, we are asking you to MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PLAN FOR ELECTION DAY.  Here are some simple questions you should answer BEFORE you head out to vote.

1.  AM I REGISTERED AND WHERE IS MY POLLING SITE?
Whether you are a regular voter or not, you should verify whether you are still registered.  You also need to know where your polling site is as it may have changed.

VERIFY YOUR REGISTRATION and FIND YOUR POLLING SITE by:

• calling 1-866-OUR-VOTE
• going on line to: govote.org
• calling your local Board of Elections

If you are at the correct polling site but your name is not on the register, you can request a provisional ballot.  If election officials don’t allow you to cast a provisional ballot call 1-866-OUR-VOTE.  You should only vote with a provisional ballot as a last resort after you’ve confirmed you are at the correct polling place.
