National Voter Assistance Hotline
by Amanda Adams*, 10/24/2006
The Election Protection coalition is launching their voter assistance hotline, 1-866-OUR-VOTE (687-8683) and the poll location web site http://www.MyPollingPlace.com. This hotline sponsored by People For the American Way Foundation, Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and NAACP will provide voters with free, state specific answers to their voting questions. Trained volunteers will be available to respond to problems such as voter identification requirements, problems with voting machines, or voter intimidation. Callers can also receive free legal assistance from volunteer lawyers trained in election law. If you have a question about voting on Election Day, call 1-866-OUR-VOTE!
