What is provisional voting?

If your name does not appear on the voter list, if you do not have a photo ID with you, or if the poll workers question your eligibility for any reason, do not give up voting for Bernie!

First, make sure you are at the right polling location. The local officials at your polling place should call the county board of elections to determine if you are registered. If you are, you have the right to vote! If you are at the wrong polling location and are able, make sure you get to your assigned polling location.

If it’s confirmed that you are at the right polling place but your name isn’t on the voter list, ask for a provisional ballot! You have the right to cast a provisional ballot even if your name isn’t on the voter list. It will be counted after the election official determines that you were eligible to vote.

Can I bring anyone to help me? Can I bring an interpreter?

Yes! You have the right to bring someone into the voting booth to help you vote, as long as they do not represent your employer or union. You can bring a relative, a friend or anyone else you trust.

In addition, every polling place is required to be accessible and have voting systems that allow voters with disabilities to vote independently and privately.
