Do I have to show ID when I
vote?
Due to the new voter photo ID law, YES.
What type of ID will be accepted?
See New Voter ID Rules
What if I don’t have any ID?
See New Voter ID Rules
What if I’m not on the voter list?
First, ask the poll worker to check the list again. Offer to
spell your name.
If a poll worker tells you that you’re at the wrong polling
place, ask for help finding the right polling place.
You can also call your county board of elections or look up your
polling place online at http://votespa.com.
If you believe you’re at the right polling place but your name
isn’t on the voter list, ask for a
Provisional Ballot.
What is a
Provisional Ballot?
A Provisional Ballot is used to
record your vote when there’s a question about your eligibility. It will only be
counted if election officials determine after the election that you were
eligible to vote. A very high percentage of provisional ballots in Pennsylvania
are rejected on technical grounds. You should use one only if there is no other
way for you to vote.
What if someone tries to
intimidate or harass me?
Tell a poll worker right away. If
the poll worker is the problem, tell a poll watcher, call your county board of
elections, call one of the election hotline numbers listed at the end of this
card, or make a complaint online at http://www.votingrights.org.
What if I make a mistake on my
ballot or the voting machine doesn’t work right?
Tell a poll worker before you cast
your vote. If you make a mistake on a paper ballot, you have the right to get
another one as long as you catch your mistake before you cast your ballot.
Can I take election materials
with me into my polling place?
You can take election materials
with you—such as a sample ballot, a voter guide, or this card—as long as they’re
for your own use. You can’t hand out materials inside a polling place.
How do I make a complaint?
Ask to speak to a judge or
inspector of elections at your polling place. He or she can handle most
complaints.
