Can someones right to vote be challenged because of his or her physical appearance or accent?
No. Challengers cannot challenge a voter’s registration simply on a whim. Challengers must have personal knowledge that the voter is not eligible to vote and must sign an oath attesting to the validity of their claim. See the fact sheet Challenges and Vouching Must be Based upon Personal Knowledge! for more information.
