Early voting is under way in Texas. Here's a guide to your rights at the polls.

If a registered voter’s name does not appear on the voter registration list because of an administrative issue, they have the right to cast a provisional ballot.

Voters generally have the right to cast their ballots in secret and should not be subject to intimidation.

Voters are entitled to get written instructions about how to cast a ballot or to ask a polling place officer or worker (but not about who or what to vote for).

Remember to review your ballot for any possible errors. You have the right to get up to two additional ballots to make corrections. The incorrect ballots will be spoiled and not counted.

Texas law says voters have the right to vote during work hours without being penalized or losing pay, but this may not apply if a worker has two hours before or after work to go vote.
