Before you go. Three things to know. 1. Find your polling place: look it up at vote.gov or with your state or local election office. 2. Bring what your state asks for: ID rules differ from state to state, check before you leave. 3. Stay in line: if you are in line when polls close, stay. You still have the right to vote.
