Ten Things Voters Should Know

Post by NeelyGirl » 11-01-2004 04:34 PM

I know we all probably know what to do, but just in case, here's a list.

Hoping for "problem free" voting:

After the 2000 election, Congress created the U.S. Election Assistance Commission and charged it with administering voluntary guidelines for election requirements and maintaining a clearinghouse of information on election procedures. For the 2004 presidential vote, the commission has created this voters’ rights guide:

1. Before you show up to vote, contact your local election official to confirm your name is on the registration list.

2. Each state has different voter identification requirements. You should know what is required in your state before you go to vote.

3. Familiarize yourself with the voting device used in your jurisdiction.

4. Know what time the polls open and close.

5. Know how and when to apply for absentee ballot if you are not going to be able to get to your polling place on Election Day.

6. Know your options for early voting.

7. Become acquainted with the candidates and issues on the ballot.

8. Each polling location must post a sign up explaining your rights as a voter.

9. If you go to the polls and your name is not on the list and you believe you are registered to vote in that jurisdiction, ask for a provisional ballot.

10. If you feel your rights have been violated, you can file a complaint with your state election officials. Every polling place must be able to provide contact information about where you can file the complaint.


The U. S. Elections Assistance Commission can be reached at 1-866-747-1471 or e-mailed at [email protected].
