Today may be the first time you have ever voted for a president, and this is an amazing, historic race. Those people on tv, the pundits, say that you (the youth) won't vote- that you won't show up, you'll be busy or distracted.
Don't prove them right.
Here are some facts:
You need to be in line by 8:00 pm. Even if it's past 8, if you're already in line, you can vote, per the Attorney General.
If you didn't register, you can still vote. Go to your town clerk's office and ask for a presidential ballot. Connecticut and Rhode Island are the only states that allow this.
If you know you registered and you go to vote, and someone tells you that you can't because you're not registered or you don't have the proper id, ask for a "provisional ballot." You can vote and they will check and count your vote once they have verified your status.
If you're blind, you can vote by phone. Get to a polling place and ask to use the special phone.
Bring ID. Bring your driver's license, a paycheck, a utility bill, or your social security card.

If you have any problems, if someone tells you something you know isn't true, like one party votes today and another votes tomorrow, call 1-866-OUR-VOTE (1-866-687-8683).
