Did you have any trouble voting today?

The elections watchdogs at Democracy North Carolina can offer some help. They have set up a Web site to answer questions about elections laws, your rights and your ballot.

They are also working with the national Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law to provide a toll-free hotline for voters who have problems.

The Election Protection hotline is 866-OUR-VOTE. 

Remember that you can always cast a provisional ballot if there is a question about your voter registration, your polling place or other issues.

The local Board of Elections will then determine whether or not to count your ballot.
