Provisional voting? What's that?

Who is eligible to cast a provisional ballot?

The following individuals are eligible to cast a provisional ballot:
A voter who claims to be properly registered and eligible to vote at the election precinct, but whose name does not appear on the list of registered voters and whose registration cannot be determined by the Voter Registrar; or A voter who is designated as a first time voter on the list of registered voters but who is unable to produce the required identification; or A voter who has applied for a ballot by mail, but has not returned the ballot by mail; or A voter who votes during polling hours that have been extended by a state or federal court; or A voter who is registered to vote but attempting to vote in a different precinct other than the one in which the voter is registered; or A voter who is required to present identification but does not; or, A voter who is on the list, but whose registered residence address is outside of the political subdivision.

If you ever went to vote and was told you couldn't vote because you "weren't registered" and then was turned away and didn't vote. Guess what??!?!! You should of been given a chance to cast your vote.
