No matter who you intend to cast your vote for on Tuesday, know your rights. Print this pamphlet off and take it into your polling station if you’re worried about being challenged–although Madison will be just about one of the safest places in the country to vote, both in terms of ease of same-day registration and the likelihood of your vote being counted (the optical scan technology used in Madison has one of the lowest miscount rates of the many methods that will be used across the country).

A few points that should be emphasized:

1. If you’re in line before 8:00PM, you have the right to vote and cannot be turned away.

2. If you are eligible but not registered, you may register at the polls by signing a certification form and either providing proof of residence (such as a recent item of mail) or having another voter vouch for you.

3. If you have moved to Wisconsin within ten days of the election, you have the right to vote for President and Vice-President.

4. If you make a mistake on your ballot, you may request up to three replacements.

Be assertive, and if you encounter any problems call the Election Protection hotline at 1-866-OUR-VOTE.
