If you’re an eligible voter, you have the following rights:MoveOn.org (opens .pdf) has a cut out wallet card as well.
If your name is not on the official voter list but you believe you are eligible to vote in that precinct, even if an election official challenges your vote, you have the right to cast a “provisional ballot.”
If you’re in line when the polls close, you should stay in line because you’re entitled to vote.
In many states, your employer must allow you time to vote at some point during the day. You can’t be fired for being late due to long polling lines.
You have the right to vote without being intimidated by anyone.
You should also bring photo ID and proof of residence (utility bill, etc). These items are not necessary, but if you are challenged at the polls it will help to establish who you are and where you live. To repeat, it’s good to have these items, but not required; all you need is your signature. DON’T BE INTIMIDATED! permanent link to this post
