Election Protection Coalition

Poster

Election Day should run smoothly, with election officials trained to help voters. If you have concerns about voting on November 3rd, know that State and Local Election officials are working hard to ensure everyone can vote safely at the polls.

What should you do if there is a problem with your voter status or identification? A voter always has the right to ask for a Provisional Ballot when challenged and should never leave their Polling Place without voting.

Another thing you can do if you are challenged at your Polling Place or if you observe voter intimidation is to call Election Protection Coalition. Staff and legal professionals are available to answer your questions and to respond to reports of election issues.

See this Poster for the HOTLINE phone numbers (English/Spanish) to report problems or ask for help.

"CYNICISM vs JQ CITIZEN" Infographic

"Cynicism" has been visible on social media and elsewhere. It is an attitude that may masquerade as wisdom, but instead is closed, negative and says, "No". Cynicism may cause young and new voters to feel their votes won't count or are not necessary. Cynicism takes away the POWER of the active, informed citizens to participate in "free and fair elections", a critical function of our democracy.

"DEMOCRACY TIME!"

Infographic

This NEW infographic helps voters understand that NOW IS THE TIME to register to vote, apply for a Mail-in Ballot, and to return the completed Ballot!

ON ELECTION DAY, this infographic helps voters "GIVE IT TIME"--by recognizing that election officials will have the approved time to count every verified in-person and mail-in/absentee vote!

In Pennsylvania, voters who vote using the mail must have their Mail-in/Absentee Ballots POSTMARKED by 8pm, November 3, 2020. However, because the pandemic has caused an increase in Mail-in/Absentee Ballots, elected officials will have three additional days to process the Mail-in/Absentee Ballots.
