Yes, If You Are in Line Before Polls Close, You Have a Legal Right to Vote
Voters who are waiting in line before polls close are legally entitled to cast their ballots, even if the line extends beyond the official closing time. This right is protected by the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibits states from imposing unreasonable burdens on voting.
States cannot require voters to wait more than a certain amount of time in line, and they must provide sufficient staff and resources to keep lines moving. If a voter is prevented from voting because the line is too long or they are otherwise prevented from casting their ballot, they may have legal recourse.
Voters should be aware that they may have to wait in line for a while, especially during busy election times. However, they should not be deterred from voting if the line is long. As long as they are in line before polls close, they have the right to vote.
