What if my polling place says I'm not on their list?
The Secretary of State's office works with local election officials to see that voter rolls are correct and up-to-date. If there is an issue, however, and the voter’s name does not appear on the poll list, the poll workers will contact the county registrars to check the voter’s registration status. If there is a confirmed error, that voter may fill out a voter registration update form and then vote a provisional ballot. Learn more about provisional ballots here.
