Your right · do this first

Say this to the poll worker:
"I am requesting a provisional ballot."
In a federal election, if they say you can't vote, the law gives you the right to a provisional ballot. A poll worker cannot refuse this. Get it before you leave — then use the steps below to make it count.

Know your rights
Three things that are always true
You can cast a provisional ballot. In a federal election, if your eligibility is questioned, you have the right to a provisional ballot. Request it.
If you're in line when polls close, stay. Anyone in line at closing time is entitled to vote. Do not leave the line.
You can ask for help. You may ask a poll worker to re-check your registration and the correct precinct. You can also call the hotline from inside.
Protect your vote
Write down what happened
Optional — and never required to get help. It can help if a lawyer needs details later, or if the DNC works to fix a problem at this location.
