More Voting Information


The following are resources for voters to use if they have complaints and questions about voting.

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is collecting voting access information before election day, Tuesday, November 7th. The DOJ has setup a system to collect information and complaints when voters with disabilities have voting access problems. You can contact the DOJ:
  1. The League of Women Voters Education Fund provides such information as:

    • ID requirements to vote
    • Where to vote
    • Early voting and absentee opportunities, plus more


  2. For voting problems or if you need to talk to a lawyer, the nonpartisan Election Protection Coalition has launched its national voter assistance hotline (1.866.OUR.VOTE or 1.866.687.8683) and poll location website. This hotline is staffed by live callcenter operators trained to provide state specific assistance to all voters. The services will include bi-lingual assistance for areas with a heavy concentration of Spanish-speaking voters.

  3. The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials has set up a national nonpartisan, bilingual hotline.
    • Am I registered to vote?
    • How do I vote absentee?
    • Where is my polling place?
    • What is provisional voting?
    • Can I vote early?
    • My name is not on the list and they do not let me vote?
    • I have not received my sample ballot?
    • What information will be on the ballot?
    • I went to the polling place and was denied assistance.


  4. The Election Protection Coalition is once again hosting the 1-866-OUR-VOTE hotline, where voters can call to report problems and receive advice on what to do. The Election Protection Coalition is a nonpartisan alliance of civil rights and civic organizations committed to protecting the rights of all voters to cast their ballot. The hotline (1-866-OURVOTE/687-8683) is an immediate, on- the-spot resource staffed by lawyers, law students and other volunteers trained to resolve voting problems.

All voter rights complaints and obstacles to voting encountered by the voters will be documented and monitored.
