AG announces election protection hotline

State Attorney General Letitia James has announced that her office’s Election Protection Hotline is available during early voting and through the general election on Tuesday, November 5th.

The hotline can troubleshoot and resolve a range of issues encountered by voters, including issues voting by absentee ballot, early mail ballot, or in-person at their polling place.

Voters are protected from voter intimidation, deception, suppression, and obstruction under state and federal law. During previous elections, James’ office fielded hundreds — and sometimes thousands — of complaints from voters across the state and worked with local election officials and others to address issues.

James urged voters experiencing election-related problems voting to call the Attorney General’s hotline at (866) 390-2992 or to submit a complaint online to request assistance. Written requests for assistance may be submitted at any time through the online complaint form. Hotline calls and written requests for assistance are processed by OAG attorneys and staff.
