Attention AFGE Members: If you experience any type of voter suppression at the polls we want to hear from you. Please email [email protected] with your name, phone number, state and county where you are voting, and the issue you experienced.
If you do not know where to vote, or have been instructed to a different polling location than you have in the past, please check here https://www.vote.org/polling-place-locator/ before contacting us.
If voting machines are not working, please also contact your local Board of Elections, as well as letting us know — especially if there are long lines.
Most importantly, if you are being told that your signature is being challenged, either at the poll or your mail in ballot, let us know. You may have a very short time to “cure” the issue with your Board of Elections, and you should follow their process immediately, but let us know as well, so that we can track if these issues are isolated or significant in certain areas.
