From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Election Protection is an American non-partisan coalition of voting rights activists.[1][2] The English language hotline is managed by the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a national civil rights organization, and accepts complaints from individuals. The Spanish hotline is managed by the NALEO Educational Fund.[1] They also offer hotlines in multiple Asian languages, Arabic, ASL, and have a disability rights hotline.[3]

It was founded in 2002.[4] Election Protection is non-partisan[5] and one of the largest[6] voter protection coalitions in the country. It had 31,000 calls in 2018.[5] In the 2006 general election it received 13,500 reports of voting problems, and considered a fifth of them serious.[7]
