Election Protection
Elections can come under attack or become in jeopardy from a number of sources. This page lays out a number of way to push back against voter suppression so all can vote easily and confidently.
- Election Protection CoalitionThe national, nonpartisan Election Protection coalition works year-round to ensure that all voters have an equal opportunity to vote and have that vote count. Made up of more than 100 local, state and national partners, Election Protection uses a wide range of tools and activities to protect, advance and defend the right to vote.
They offer a suite of voter helplines if you encounter problems or questions when voting:
