Election Protection Volunteers Needed-  Legal Field Program

November 6th (Election Day) – New York

The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law (“Lawyers’ Committee”) and its coalition partners seek volunteer attorneys, law students and paralegals for the New York Election Protection program to staff the 1-866-OUR-VOTE hotline and legal field programs on Election Day, November 6th.   Volunteers answer questions, monitor polling locations, and identify issues confronting voters. 

Election Protection is the nation’s largest non-partisan voter protection coalition and helps all voters across the country, particularly those traditionally disenfranchised. Volunteers must attend a 2 hour, in-person training session and are asked to sign up for a several hour shift on Election Day.   Materials will be provided. 

To volunteer, please sign-up directly at http://volunteer.866ourvote.org. Please see the list of training dates/time and locations below.
