US voter's Bill of Rights PDF Print E-mail

Note:  There is no national (Federal) voter’s Bill of Rights in the United States.  Nevertheless, each and everyone of the States have passed similar Bill of Rights applicable to the State’s constituents, such as the one transcribed below and proclaimed by the State of California.

1. You have the right to cast a ballot if you are a valid registered voter.

A valid registered voter means a United States citizen
who is a resident in this state, who is at least 18 years
of age and not in prison or on parole for conviction
of a felony, and who is registered to vote at his or her
current residence address.

2. You have the right to cast a provisional ballot if your name is not listed on the voting rolls.

3. You have the right to cast a ballot if you are present and in line at the polling place prior to the close of the polls.

4. You have the right to cast a secret ballot free from intimidation.

5. You have the right to receive a new ballot if, prior to casting your ballot, you believe you made a mistake.

If at any time before you finally cast your ballot, you feel
you have made a mistake, you have the right to exchange
the spoiled ballot for a new ballot. Absentee voters may
also request and receive a new ballot if they return their
spoiled ballot to an elections official prior to the closing
of the polls on election day.

6. You have the right to receive assistance in casting your ballot, if you are unable to vote without assistance.

7. You have the right to return a completed absentee ballot to any precinct in the county.

You have the right to ask questions of the precinct
board and election officials regarding election
procedures and to receive an answer or be directed
to the appropriate official for an answer. However, if
persistent questioning disrupts the execution of their
duties, the board or election officials may discontinue
responding to questions.
