Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights are on the line to assist with voting issues

It's election day in Chicago, and today the city residents will be able to cast their votes for Mayor, City Clerk and Treasurer and Alderman. The Voting Rights Project is an initiative of Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights. Their Election Protection Hotline (866-OUR-VOTE) is available to help citizens report voting access issues and problems at their polling places, and they have some useful tips for voters on this election day. Jenny Terrell is an Attorney with CLCCR who's coordinating the Election Protection volunteers on election day and will be stationed at the call center throughout the day. Jill Hopkins spoke with Jenny about some of the issues that voters have been dealing with at polling places and how their trained VRP volunteers can help resolved them. Voting is open until 7 PM today.
