Spend Election Day (Nov. 6, 2018) Defending Asian American Voting Rights!
In past elections across the country, Asian Americans have faced a series of barriers in exercising their right to vote, including segregated “Asian” voting lines. In response, the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF) has conducted a non-partisan survey of Asian American voters to document Asian American voting patterns and document instances of anti-Asian voter disenfranchisement. AALDEF has monitored the elections for compliance with the federal Voting Rights Act, which mandates bilingual ballots and forbids anti-Asian voter discrimination.
We need your help. Become an Exit Poll volunteer and help defend against Asian American voter suppression. Sign up today through the Volunteer Sign-Up Form! Volunteers work in three hour shifts. Knowledge of Asian languages are helpful but not necessary. There will be a one-hour training session for all volunteers in October (90 minutes for CLE credit), time/location TBD. All volunteers must be non-partisan during the time that they help. If you have any questions, please email Voting Rights Organizer Fiona Zhao at [email protected].
