IMPORTANT THREAD.
TIPS that will HELP #ProtectOurVotes
Not only is up to US to #VOTE-
WE also have to work hard to defend the integrity of our #Elections.

VERIFY
🔹Your registration
🔹Polling location
🔹Type of ID needed

BRING
🔹Correct ID
🔹Proof of Registration (card or photo of confirmation)
🔹Your district specific Sample Ballot (Re: Accuracy for district races)
🔹Provisions for long lines – folding chairs, water, snacks

IF CHALLENGED, VOTE PROVISIONALLY
🔹Yes, provisional ballots are counted!

HAND MARK YOUR BALLOT IF YOU CAN
🔹Ask to HAND MARK a paper ballot at the polls, rather than using a touchscreen voting machine or touchscreen ballot marker

🔹Even some touchscreen polling places will let you HAND MARK a paper ballot at the polls if you ask. Call your County Election Board to find out about yours.
🔹Ask your County Election Board if you can vote by MAIL OR ABSENTEE (This is not perfect, but it IS more secure)

IF YOU MUST USE A TOUCHSCREEN
🔹Make sure all candidates are listed on the screen. (Push the "More" button to be sure).
🔹Review the ENTIRE paper printout for accuracy (difficult to do unless you bring your completed district specific SAMPLE BALLOT with you).

VOLUNTEER
🔹As a poll watcher during voting
🔹As a poll watcher when polls close to take pictures of the poll tapes (list of vote totals at the precincts) and chain of custody records
WATCH & RECORD
🔹Results on the Secretary of State or County websites throughout the night

“Take screenshots, save them as you go, & include a timestamp in the filename when u do. Those web results have a way of changing, sometimes in the wrong direction. Your evidence could help save an election.”
