Hey! Are you going to vote today and it's your first time or maybe you're just unfamiliar and you're not sure how to do it? No worries at all. Even experienced voters have to sometimes check and make sure their ducks are in a row. Here are some quick bits of advice. (thread)
1. Make sure you're registered to vote and find out where to vote. You can do both of those here: http://iwillvote.com Just plug in your address for the polling location and basic ID information for the registration, and voila! Easy. Takes 30 seconds.
2. It's totally fine and common to get to your polling place and realize you don't know how to vote. That's why the election workers are there. Their intended purpose is to make the process as smooth and easy as possible. You should feel free to ask them anything about voting.
3. For example, maybe you get your ballot, and something about it is confusing. Don't hesitate to ask one of the election workers there to help you figure it out. Seriously, they live for that. They'll be thrilled to help.
4. But maybe something feels kinda off. Don't ignore that instinct. If you're worried at all that you're being misled by an election worker or the process itself, immediately call: 1-866-OUR-VOTE You'll talk to a real live human who's basically a voting superhero. They got you.
5. The folks at @866OURVOTE are all about helping voters through all sorts of problems. Don't worry about taking a question to them that's too small. They've seen it all. They're volunteering today specifically to answer those questions. You'd seriously make their day by calling.
6. Let's say an election worker tells you that you can't vote for some reason. Even if their reasoning makes sense, you can and should still verify they're right. The folks at 866-OUR-VOTE absolutely *live* for these calls. Call them. They'll verify and talk about next steps.
7. Every state/locality has their polls close at different times. This graphic is an overview, but you can and should verify at http://iwillvote.com (just enter your address). But here's the really important part, so if you take anything away, it should be this...pic.twitter.com/3P3kDURyrB
8. As long as you're in line by the time your polling location closes, you get to vote. Guaranteed. It doesn't matter how long the line is. It doesn't matter what states have been called. It doesn't matter what the news is saying. If you're in line, you get to vote. Period.
9. In some locations, the line to vote can be quite long. Our system is broken. Some elected officials intentionally make it harder to vote. We need to fix that. In the meantime, make sure you got what you need to stand in line for a bit: fully charged phone, water, etc.
10. Don't be afraid to make a fuss. You're not bothering anyone that shouldn't be bothered. This is your RIGHT, and those who are in charge of it are required to ensure you're able to exercise that right. So, go vote! Get that sticker. Feel the pride. /thread
