AUSTIN – The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Texas urges all Texans to exercise their right to vote on Tuesday, November 2, and to report any problems at the polls by calling the ACLU of Texas help line.
Voters can report complaints on a wide range of elections issues – including equipment malfunctions, access to the polls and discriminatory or illegal election practices – by calling the ACLU toll-free help line: 1-877-523-2792.
Voters can review their rights before going to the polls with voter empowerment cards available on the ACLU of Texas website, in English or in Spanish
The cards summarize the basic state and federal laws pertaining to every voter and list emergency contact numbers for voters to call if they encounter problems at the polls. The cards also provide answers to common questions such as: Where do I vote? Is identification required? How can I minimize potential problems?
