Non-Partisan Voter Hotline Volunteer
This opportunity is provided by VolunteerMatch's partner.
Please visit the new page to apply.
The nonpartisan North Carolina Election Protection Hotline (888-OUR-VOTE) is recruiting volunteer lawyers, paralegals, and law students to answer the hotline during peak periods in the 2024 Primary Election.
Volunteers will answer calls from voters across the state, documenting problems and working to remove barriers to voting. Our hotline is 100% virtual -- meaning you can get trained and answer calls from home.
The hotline will operate with volunteers from Monday, Feb. 12 through the day of canvass, or counting of ballots (Friday, March. 15). Volunteers are especially needed on the first day of early voting, the last day (Saturday, March 2) of early voting, and Election Day (Tuesday, March 5).
To participate in the hotline you must:
- Either have a JD, be currently enrolled in law school, or have prior experience answering the NC voter hotline.
- Be able to serve a minimum of 2-3 shifts a month. You do not have to volunteer every month the hotline is active;
- Have access to a computer with reliable internet access and a headset with a microphone. One can be provided to you if needed.
- Have basic computer/internet skills and the ability to troubleshoot problems
- Be able to attend or complete a 2-hour online training;
- Be able to interact with voters in a calm, nonpartisan manner.
Sign up here today! The first training date will be offered in early February.
