2022 Get Out The Vote Florida (ACLU)

Voting is the cornerstone of our democracy. Everyone should have the right to exercise their voices at the ballot box. Yet, voter suppression among communities of color, students, disabled people, and the elderly, persists throughout Florida’s history. You have the power to select, endorse, and vote for a candidate that speaks to you and your community's values.

Election Protection Hotlines

The nonpartisan Florida Election Protection Coalition (FLEPC) works year-round to ensure all voters have an equal opportunity to vote and have that vote count. Any voter can call the hotlines if they have questions or issues while voting.
