Know Your Rights: Voter Intimidation

It is a federal crime to intimidate, threaten or coerce people with the intention of interfering with their right to vote as the person chooses. Examples of voter intimidation include:

  • Aggressively questioning voters about their citizenship, criminal record, or other qualifications to vote.

  • Falsely representing oneself as an elections official.

  • Other forms of harassment, particularly harassment targeting non-English speakers and voters of color.

  • Spreading false information about voter requirements (You do not need to speak English or pass a test to vote in any state.)

What to do if you are the subject of voter intimidation:

  • In many states, you can tell a poll worker that you satisfy the qualifications to vote in your state, and proceed to cast a ballot.

  • Report intimidation to your local election officials. Their offices will be open on Election Day.

  • Report intimidation to the Election Protection Hotline at 1-866-OUR-VOTE.
