Election Day Problems?!
If you are challenged by a poll worker, are not listed on the voter roll, or if you do not have the proper identification with you, you still have the right to cast a provisional ballot on election day.
You may be asked to provide ID by a certain date or to sign an affidavit that are you indeed a registered voter when casting a provisional ballot.
