Floridians! Print this out and pass it around. Take a copy (or more) with you when you go to vote.

With the Republicans planning to challenge (disrupt and prevent your) vote, it pays to KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!

FLORIDA VOTERS’ BILL OF RIGHTS

1. You have the right to vote if you are in line when the polls close 7 pm, or at any other time between 7 am and 7 pm. Fla. Stat. §§ 100.011(1) and 101.031(2)

3. If a poll worker cannot find your name on the list, and cannot verify your registration, you have the right to cast a "provisional ballot" and vote. Check with an Election Protection volunteer or call 1-866-OUR-VOTE before you cast a provisional ballot to confirm that you are in the correct precinct – to help ensure that your vote will count. §§ 101.031(2) and 101.048

§§101.031(2) and 101.5608(2)(b)

7. If you have moved within the county, but are still qualified and registered to vote, you have the right to vote at your new polling place after writing down your new address. § 101.045(2)(a)

8. If your name has changed because of marriage or other legal process, you have the right to vote under your original name. § 101.045(2)(b)

9. You have the right to receive written and oral instructions from voting elections officers when you vote. § 101.031(2)
