Election Protection Volunteers Needed- Legal Field Program

The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law (“Lawyers’ Committee”) and its coalition partners seek volunteer attorneys, law students and paralegals for the New York Election Protection program to staff the 1-866-OUR-VOTE hotline and legal field programs on Election Day, November 6th. Volunteers answer questions, monitor polling locations, and identify issues confronting voters.
