CONCORD — The Disability Rights Center of New Hampshire will offer free, confidential assistance to voters with disabilities who encounter problems getting to the polls during the Nov. 3 midterm election.

The DRC-NH Election Day Hotline will be available from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM to help ensure that every eligible voter can cast their ballot privately and independently.

“Voting is a fundamental right, and our hotline is here to make sure that voters with disabilities can exercise that right,” said Attorney James Ziegra of DRC-NH.

Hotline staff can answer questions and provide legal support for a range of voting issues including:

-Using the accessible voting system

-What to do if a polling place is not accessible

-How to request disability-related accommodations

-Reporting voter intimidation or unfair treatment at the polls

-Understanding and exercising rights under laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Help America Votes Act.
