Volunteer with Election Protection

Protect the Vote this Election Day – Volunteer with Election Protection Here California Common Cause is privileged to be able to play an active role in this year’s national, nonpartisan Election Protection efforts to ensure that all eligible voters have the right to cast their ballots on Election Day (November 6). Election Protection, a coalition of more than 100 local, state and national partners coordinated by the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, is the nation’s most ambitious nonpartisan effort to prevent Election Day disenfranchisement. Together with law firms and organizations across the country, on November 6, the School will be hosting an Election Protection hotline – a toll-free, nonpartisan resource to answer voter questions during the election on Tuesday, November 6.
