Having trouble?
If your name is not on the voter list at your polling place, you have the right to vote a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are counted after elections officials have confirmed the validity of the voter’s registration and that the voter did not already vote in the election. More about provisional voting.
If you are having any trouble casting your ballot on Election Day, call the Voter Protection Hotline: 866-687-8683 (Spanish: 888-839-8682)
