Poll watchers intent on intimidating voters they believe will vote against their candidate may be posted in polling places to challenge would be voters.  The protocols suggested below will stop intimidation efforts.

 

 

VOTING IS YOUR RIGHT AS A CITIZEN

 

If an alleged “poll watcher” tries to impede you at the voting booth:

1.    Tell him to kindly step out of the way

2.    Take his picture with a cell phone

3.    Call the FBI

 

                     FBI Civil Rights Division Staff along with the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights

                         Division Voting Section will be available by phone to receive complaints related to ballot access: 202-307-2767 or toll-free at 800-253-3931.

 

 

PLEASE PASS THIS ON.
