Voter Intimidation: A tool in the Far-Right’s 2024 Strategic Plan

What to do if you experience intimidation at the polls

• It’s illegal! First things first, it’s important to know that voter intimidation is a federal crime.
• Do not be intimidated if your vote is challenged.
• Alert the municipal clerk or election officials at polling locations.
• Call Election Protection at 866-OUR-VOTE.
• Document the conduct.
• Don’t confront the intimidator.

If you believe your voting rights — or the rights of a specific group of people — were violated, speak to a civil rights lawyer in your area.
