REPORT PROBLEMS
The Florida Democratic Party now has a 24-hour Voter Protection Hotline. The hotline is a part of the Florida Democratic Party's new year-round Voter Protection Program that was launched in May, 2019 as an effort to tackle the growing threat to Floridians right to vote.
The hotline will be staffed with a mix of paid staff and trained volunteers from across the state and will work to educate voters, answer questions and ensure that all legal votes are counted.
In addition to educating voters and serving as a valuable resource to protect voter rights, the hotline will be used to identify trends in voter suppression across the state and work with local supervisors to address those before the 2020 election. This is the first time the Florida Democratic Party has had a voter protection hotline during a non-election year.
