Presenter: you can't vote.
Voter: Hi. I'm Greg Meyer. I'm here to
Voter: vote today.
Poll worker: Unfortunately, sir, you aren't
Poll worker: able to vote today.
Presenter: What would you do?
Presenter: One possible solution, ask the
Presenter: poll worker to confirm that you
Presenter: are not registered to vote. If
Presenter: the poll worker shows you proof
Presenter: that you can't vote, then ask
Presenter: for a provisional ballot.
Voter: Why can't I vote today? I've
Voter: been voting for several years.
Voter: Wh-, why can't I vote now?
Poll worker: Um, sir, it's been confirmed
Poll worker: that, um, you're not on my poll
Poll worker: book. Did you change your last
Poll worker: name? Have you moved in the past
Poll worker: couple of months or anything of
Poll worker: that nature?
Voter: Oh, shoot. Um, I moved a few
Voter: months ago, and I must have f-,
Voter: forgotten to update my
Voter: registration.
Poll worker: Oh, OK. You can still vote. You
Poll worker: can vote by using a provisional
Poll worker: ballot. A provisional ballot is
Poll worker: one that can be used by anyone
Poll worker: when there's a question about
Poll worker: their eligibility to vote. What
Poll worker: we do is fill out the form. It's
Poll worker: taken to the Election Board.
Poll worker: They determine the eligibility
Poll worker: of your residency, and they will
Poll worker: cast your ballot. You call the
Poll worker: Election Board within a couple
Poll worker: of weeks to see if they cast
Poll worker: your ballot. And while you're
Poll worker: here, let's fill out a new voter
Poll worker: registration form.
Voter: OK.
Presenter: The Help America Vote Act gives
Presenter: everyone the right to use a
Presenter: provisional ballot if there's a
Presenter: question about their eligibility
Presenter: to vote.
Presenter: Never leave the polling place
Presenter: without voting.
