ELECTION PROTECTION
No matter our race, background or zip code most of us believe that for democracy to work for all of us, it must include us all. To move forward together as a nation, we must ensure that every American has the freedom to vote.
​
That’s why we’re proud to be partnering with national, state, and local organizations to once again organize an Ohio Election Protection program. The goal of our non-partisan election protection program is to ensure Ohio voters have the information they need in order to cast their ballot. We work to minimize barriers to the ballot box, particularly for under-represented communities. By creating a simple and satisfying voting experience, we can empower voters and create a more representative democracy.
​
The Election Protection Hotline, 866-OUR-VOTE, is the nation’s largest non-partisan hotline to ask voting questions and report voting problems. Election Protection volunteers promote awareness of the 866-OUR-VOTE Hotline and assist voters with voting questions or problems.
Volunteer Opportunities
Together, we can ensure all Ohioans have the freedom to vote and the results of our elections reflect the will of the people. We offer many flexible volunteer opportunities for you to join us in saving democracy from home or in person. Sign up today!
Why Election Protection Matters
Melissa P., Lucas County
Working with Election Protection was eye opening for me. I had no idea how many overworked, stressed, but dedicated election workers we have, and how much it takes to run an election in Lucas County. The best part for me was working with our team of EP volunteers. Many have said it was the most rewarding experience of their civic life.
Voting is the core of our Democracy; it's the floor of our responsibilities to each other in a free society and the foundation upon which all of our freedoms are built. As voting becomes more complex and difficult, it's important that we reach out and help our fellow citizens access the ballot box.
