FAQ
Where can I find information to register and vote in my state/locality?
Visit our GOTV Action Center to find detailed information on voter registration and the voting process in your area.
Can I still vote if I do not read or speak English well?
Federal law protects your right to vote even if you do not read, speak, write or understand English very well. These protections apply when you register to vote or cast a ballot. Election officials cannot discriminate against you. You can bring a person to help you vote, and you are entitled to receive bilingual assistance in some places. The U.S. Department of Justice has a webpage available in several languages that describes your right to vote and the type of language assistance you can receive.

What should I do if my ability to vote has been impacted by the hurricanes?
The U.S. Department of Justice has a webpage listing resources to help voters in states impacted by recent hurricanes, including Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. It provides information about changes made by states to accommodate voters who have been displaced from their homes, lost their IDs, have had polling sites moved, or are uncertain where or how they can vote.
What should I do if I face intimidation, harassment, or violence when voting?
Federal law prohibits intimidation, threats, and coercion throughout the voting process, including registering to vote, casting a ballot, and even at the stage of counting or tallying votes. The U.S. Department of Justice has outlined these prohibitions at Voter Intimidation Under Federal Law (justice.gov)
If you feel threatened or intimidated while voting, report it immediately by calling the U.S. Department of Justice at 800-253-3931. Or you can call the FBI to report violations at 800-CALL-FBI (800-225-5324) or by filing an online complaint with the FBI at tips.fbi.gov/home. Alternatively, you can file an online complaint with the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice at civilrights.justice.gov/report/ Finally, the Department of Justice has designated District Election Officers in every local U.S. Attorney Office around the country to receive complaints of intimidation, harassment or violence.
