Voter's Bill of Rights

From the Pa. League of Women Voters:

Voter’s Bill of Rights


When you go to vote it is your right to…

Inspect a sample ballot (this should be posted near the entrance along with an instruction sheet and a penalties sheet).

Ask a poll worker for a demonstration or further instruction on how to vote on the type of system in use at that polling place.

Receive voting assistance in the voting booth.

Vote if you are in line by the time the polls close.

Vote for the candidate of your choice (In a primary election you can vote only for candidates in the political party in which you are registered).

Ask to cast a provisional ballot if your eligibility to vote is challenged for any reason.

Post a Comment

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
