Recruiting Organization: Democracy North Carolina
With the implementation of North Carolina’s Voter ID law in 2023, it is more important than ever to ensure voters have the support they need to cast their ballot freely this election.
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 General Election.Dedicated volunteers answered over 600 calls during the 2024 Primary Election. We anticipate an even greater demand this election.
Volunteers are especially needed during Early Voting (October 17 - November 2) and Election Day (November 5).
Volunteers answer calls and texts from voters across the state, document problems, and work to remove barriers to voting. The hotline is 100% virtual, so volunteers will get trained and answer calls and texts from home.
Sign up here today!
