Know your voting rights! Voter intimidation is illegal. Read Georgetown Law’s Fact Sheet Protecting Against Voter Intimidation.
If the polls close while you’re in line, STAY IN LINE! You have the right to receive help at the polls if you’re a voter with a disability or have difficulty reading or writing in English. If an election worker can’t find your name on the list of registered voters, you’re still entitled to a provisional ballot.
If you experience voter intimidation (a federal crime) such as aggressive questioning about your citizenship status, criminal record, or voting record, you can report it to the Election Protection Hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) or call 911.
