We'll cut to the chase. According the current editions of both the Merriam-Webster and the Oxford English Dictionaries, both spellings are correct. However, both volumes list protester before protestor, indicating that the -er spelling is preferred. This is why the Associated Press decided to list protester as the correct spelling in the AP Stylebook. We cross-checked AP's guideline with British equivalents, and both The Guardian and The Times of London list protester as the preferred spelling over protestor.http://www.theatlanticwire.com/business/2011/10/once-and-all-its-spelled-protester-not-protestor/43558/
