Know Your Rights: Voting

The ACLU of Massachusetts is committed to ensuring that all eligible voters can access the ballot box — and have their votes counted.

We represent voters and nonpartisan voter education organizations in court, protecting the right to vote and the right to participate in a fair election process, free from intimidation.

Outside court, we are out in communities teaching Bay Staters their voting rights and performing nonpartisan election protection work at the polls.

The nonpartisan Election Protection Coalition, of which the ACLU of Massachusetts is a member, works to ensure that every eligible voter in Massachusetts is able to cast a ballot that gets counted: one person, one vote!

Voters can call or text these hotline numbers to find out where to vote and whether they need ID, as well as to report long lines at the polls, problems with voting machines, and any other voting-related incidents. You can also send an online message to the hotline here.
