（NewsNation）—— 早期投票的投票率正在激增，据报道投票数已超过上一届中期选举同期收集的数字。但如果你前往投票站却被告知你未登记投票，该怎么办？无论你是提前投票还是在选举日投票，以下是被告知无资格投票时的应对措施。
(NewsNation) – Turnout has been surging in early voting, with vote counts reportedly exceeding the numbers collected during the same period in the last midterm election cycle. But what happens if you head to the polls and you're told you aren't registered to vote? Whether you vote early or on Election Day, here's what to do if you're told you aren't eligible to vote.
在前往投票前，请在线查询你的登记状态，并确保你拥有投票站的正确地址。如果你最近搬过家，你的登记信息可能仍反映你的旧地址。询问投票站工作人员，你是否可以在现场更新登记并投票，或者是否需要前往你原来的投票站投出选票。各州选举法律各异，但有25个州和哥伦比亚特区提供某种形式的当日登记。请向投票站工作人员询问如何操作。
Check your registration status online before you go to vote and make sure you have the correct address for your polling place. If you have recently moved, your registration may still reflect your old address. Ask a poll worker if you can update your registration on site and vote, or if you'll need to go to your old polling place to cast a ballot. Election laws vary by state, but 25 states and the District of Columbia offer some form of same-day registration. Ask a poll worker how to.
你可能可以在投票站直接办理，也可能需要前往特定地点办理。即使你所在州没有投票身份证法律，你也需要携带身份证明和居住证明。通常这包括一张带照片的身份证件，以及一份显示你当前地址的邮件等文件。
You may be able to do so at the polling place or you may need to go to a specific location if you need to. You will also need to have proof of identification and residency to, even if your state does not have voter ID laws for voting. Typically, that will include a photo ID and something like a piece of mail showing your current address.
由Vote.gov运营的选举保护热线电话为1-866-687-8683，有志愿者为选民提供帮助。如果你已确认你的登记和投票站无误，持有你所在州接受的身份证件（如有要求），却仍被拒发选票，你可以拨打该热线寻求帮助。你也可以致电当地选举办公室寻求协助。
The Election Protection Hotline operated by Vote.gov can be reached at 1-866-687-8683 and is staffed with volunteers to help voters. If you have confirmed your registration and polling place are correct, have a form of ID accepted by your state (if required) and are still being denied a ballot, you can call the hotline for help. You can also call your local election office for assistance.
如果你认为自己已登记投票，你可以申请一张临时选票。与普通选票不同，这些选票不会自动计数。只有在选举官员日后核实你符合所有投票要求后，才会计算临时选票。你领取临时选票时应获得相关说明，告知你需要采取哪些步骤以确保你的选票被计入。您也可以追踪您的临时选票，以确定它是否已被处理。
If you believe you are registered to vote, you can request a provisional ballot. Unlike a regular ballot, these ballots are not automatically counted. Election officials only count provisional ballots if they later verify that you meet all the requirements to vote. You should get instructions with a provisional ballot, telling you what you'll need to do to make sure your vote is counted. You can also track your provisional ballot to determine whether it was processed.
