What should I do if I am registered to vote but I am denied?

If I am in the polling place and told I cannot vote, for one reason or another. What do I do? It is my right, if registered, to vote. How do I protect my right?

Thanks

    What if I go to the polls and they tell me I am not registered to vote?

    First, make sure you are at the right polling place. If you are at the wrong polling place they would not have your name on file. If you are at the correct location and are not on file you can still cast a ballot. Ask the poll worker for a provisional ballot. After the polls close on Election Day the state will check on the status of your voter registration and if there was a mistake made. The state must notify you as to whether your ballot was counted. If you have a problem voting and think your rights have been denied call (866) OUR-VOTE. There will be lawyers there to help.

    On Election Day, if I think my rights have been violated, what should I do?

    Call (866) OUR-VOTE if you feel your rights have been violated. There will be lawyers on hand to answer Election Day questions and concerns about voting procedures.

    ask for a provisional ballot. Why do you think that you would be turned away? Bring your ID and show up at the correct polling place, you will be able to vote if you registered. Plus you should have your voters registration card.

    If you were not registered before the required time to vote, my state it was October 4. Then you cannot vote this year and cannot do anything about it.

    If you're in one of the 32 states that has early voting, do that instead. I wouldn't leave the fate of my vote up to the partisan election day shenanigans of either side. :)

    Write to your congressman

    Write to the FEC

    Protest VERY loudly. Community Organizing can get you far.
