Election Protection
The nation’s largest nonpartisan coalition working to protect the right to vote.
Indiana Primary Election Protection volunteer sign-ups are now closed.
Starting in September 2024, we will be recruiting November 5th, 2024 General Election Protection call center volunteers to answer questions from voters calling the 866-OUR-VOTE hotline and field volunteers to monitor and respond to problems as they arise at the polls in Illinois and Indiana. Please contact Ari Hoffman, Election Protection Coordinator, at ahoffman@clccrul.org to sign up for our email list and stay up to date about future opportunities.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM:

Collects voter data and experiences, which are used to drive election law reform through community education, legislation, and litigation.
