You have the right to bring a friend or support person to help you cast your ballot, and the poll workers can not deny you this person. There are some people who cannot help you vote, for example, your boss or a union officer from your job.

You have the right to ask for help from a non-partisan poll worker. Poll workers CAN help you with the voting process. Poll workers CANNOT tell you who to vote for or explain the issues in simpler terms.

You have the right to get a new ballot if you make a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes and it is your right to be given a new ballot if you make a mistake on your first one.

You have the right to use a provisional ballot if you are told that you can’t vote for some reason. But states may not count these ballots, so it is best to ask them to show proof of why you cannot vote before asking for a provisional ballot.

You have the right to use the accessible voting station at your polling place. You do not have to have a disability to use these machines. The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) says that every polling place must have an accessible voting station to help people vote privately and independently.
