KDP Election Protection Hotline Goes Live

Today, the KDP issued this press release:

This year more than ever Democrats need to stay vigilant to protect every Kentuckian's right to vote. A record turnout is likely here in Kentucky and across the country, with more new voters casting a ballot than ever before; and the media is filled with stories about Republican efforts to block new voters and discard Democratic ballots. There have also been questions raised about Kentucky's preparedness for the large turnout.

In order to guarantee that the voting process is accessible to and inclusive of all eligible voters on November 4, the Kentucky Democratic Party will once again provide an Election Protection Hotline staffed by attorneys and volunteers. Voters can call 1-888-4KYVOTE (1-888-459-8683) to learn more about their rights, report problems and get answers on Election Day.

The fundamental right to vote needs to be protected. This hotline, and the attorneys and citizens who staff it, will ensure that every Kentuckian has their rights protected at the polls.

The Election Protection staff will work to ensure that ballots are available to all registered voters, that polls open and close on time, and will serve to reassure voters that they cannot be intimidated when they exercise their right.

If you are an Attorney interested in serving as a member of the Election Protection team please contact the Kentucky Democratic Party.
