When you go to vote, do you know what to do if someone tells you you're not on the list or there's a problem with your voter registration?

1. Don't just walk away. This is the most important thing.

2. Only as a last resort should you accept a provisional ballot.

3. Call 866-OUR-VOTE (866-697-8683) or go to 866OURVOTE.org if you have questions or need help. A trained team of advisors is available to resolve problems.

Over 10,000 lawyers are dispatched to the polling places on Election Day to help assure that the 2008 election reflects the will of the American people.

"I can't watch this election unravel over corruption, not this time."

PS: You can also call CNN's voter hotline at 1-800-462-6608.
