Ask for a PROVISIONAL BALLOT if you are told you can't cast a ballot for any reason at the polls.
Voters occasionally show up at the polls unaware that a Vote By Mail ballot was already sent to them. That’s one of the more common reasons a voter may need to fill out a “provisional” ballot - this ensures the integrity of the election while also preserving legitimate votes. These ballots are reviewed after polls close and paperwork can be examined more closely. Valid votes will be counted if they are not duplicates.
