Tuesday, November 3 | 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Free | National Civil Rights Museum
On Election Day, the National Civil Rights Museum will host a free help center for voters. Whether you need to find your polling place, have a question about voting access in your precinct, or run into a problem at the polls, trained volunteers are here to help. No appointment is needed.
How the Hub Can Help
Trained volunteers will:
- Answer your questions about voting access in local precincts
- Direct you to your polling place
- Connect you with election authorities when you need answers or action
- Support anyone who has trouble exercising their right to vote at the polls
Share Why You Vote
Visit the Hub’s photo and video wall. Tell us why you vote, recall your first time voting, or encourage someone else to cast a ballot. Your story could inspire a neighbor. The wall is about the power of the vote, so please don’t name candidates or parties.
Why the Museum
The Museum stands on the site where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his life in the fight for equality, and voting rights are central to that story. On Election Day, we want every voter to know this is a place they can turn to for answers and support.
“On Election Day, we want every voter to know this Museum is a place they can turn to for answers and support.” — Veda Ajamu, Chief Engagement Officer, National Civil Rights Museum
