This year, Florida attorneys and other volunteers will be doing the work protecting our elections. This is a nonpartisan effort. Attorneys may volunteer to answer calls that come in on the EP hotline from voters and volunteers in the field or they may work at precinct(s) to make sure that the polls open on time and that voters are allowed to vote with the proper identification, and to help resolve voting issues and report any irregularities that the volunteer witnesses.
