Where’s my polling place?

What other resources should I have?
- If you need to report any voter suppression, use the election protection hotline (866-687-8683). According to vote.org, it is illegal for anyone to attempt to threaten you, coerce you to vote a certain way, intimidate you, give you inaccurate voting information or imitate an election official.

- How do I get to the polls?
- Lyft and Uber are offering low-cost rides on their apps. Lyft is “offering 50% off one ride up to $10 to any polling location” according to their website and Uber is “50% off roundtrip rides to and from the polls (up to $7 each trip).” Uber automatically applies the discount when the address to the polling place is entered while Lyft requires you to enter the promo code “2020VOTE” in order to receive the discount.
