While thousands of Michigan voters have already cast ballots either early in person or through absentee ballots, thousands more will head to the polls today on Election Day.

It’s important for those voters to know their rights, limitations and expectations.

You have the right to vote without being harassed.

Poll challengers are allowed to raise legitimate questions to a designated liaison working on the poll staff, but they’re not allowed to question you directly.

If someone questions your eligibility to vote, a poll worker may question you and ask you to sign an affidavit in order to cast your ballot.

Campaigning is forbidden within 100 feet of polling locations, so you shouldn’t see anyone trying to sway your vote as you walk into your polling place — but that also means you can’t wear a hat or T-shirt promoting your favorite candidate when you go in to vote.

If someone harasses or intimidates you as you try to vote, report it immediately to the precinct captain at your polling place or call the police.

You must present an ID or sign an affidavit of identity to vote.
