Election Protection is a hotline aimed at making the voting process as efficient as possible.

The hotline is based in Washington, D.C., but they have 23 call centers located across the country on Election Day, with more than 1,000 trained legal volunteers from more than 100 national, state, and local organizations answering the phones.

Volunteers are available to answer questions about voter registration, finding your polling place, and reporting problems with the elections system.

The hotline also offers options to speak to a volunteer in a language other than English.
