Rock Your Rights

For the most part, voting is easy. If you’re at least 18 years old and a U.S. citizen, you’re good to go.

But unfortunately, sometimes sh*t happens. From confusing rules and bureaucratic snafus to intentional efforts to stop students, young people of color, and others from voting, we face threats to our rights every election year.

What Can You Do?

1. If you’re wrongfully turned away from the polls or denied the right to register to vote, call 1-866-OUR-VOTE (or 1-888-VE-Y-VOTA), a hotline run by our partners at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law. They can help you out.With our partners – including the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights, Video the Vote, and many, many more – we’re fighting to make sure every eligible 18-29 year old can vote on November 4, 2008.

2. Sign up to volunteer on a Rock Your Rights team. 
   
3. Join Twitter and follow Rock the Vote.  We're building a network of activists.  Join now, and if you see something wrong (or right!) on Election Day, you can let us know quickly and effectively.
