Representatives of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights say they want to help voters. The group has two hotlines set up to answer questions or concerns regarding the voting process — the nonpartisan Election Protection Hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE, and the ICIRR Family Support Network Hotline at 866-435-7693.

Trained volunteers from the ICIRR will answer questions until the end of the day on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3. They will also serve as nonpartisan poll watchers in Chicago and several nearby counties.
