This November, the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey and League of Women Voters of New Jersey are looking for your help to answer our voter hotlines as part of our statewide voter protection effort during the 2009 general election on November 3.

As a non-partisan hotline volunteer, you would assist people calling in with problems or questions on Election Day. You will give voters information about their rights and their options for getting help with their voting rights at the polls. You will also assist non-partisan poll monitors who call in from polls in Newark and New Brunswick, among other cities.

What to Expect

The hotline site is at the LWVNJ office in Trenton.

Volunteers must attend a three-hour training session at the LWVNJ office before November 3. Trainings are scheduled for the evening of October 27 or the afternoon of October 28.

Volunteers must have their own transportation to the office, which is also accessible by public transportation.

You will be working with ACLU-NJ and LWVNJ staff and other volunteers who will be available for assistance. We will have attorneys on hand to assist voters and poll monitors who encounter problems at the polls.
