Common Cause Massachusetts Launches 2025 Election Protection Program 

Boston, MA –  Common Cause Massachusetts today announced the launch of the 2025 Election Program  to help voters make their voices heard on Election Day.  

“Every eligible Bay State voter has the right to make their voice heard this Election Day,” said Geoff Foster, Executive Director of Common Cause Massachusetts. “Our nonpartisan election protection volunteers are ready to assist to ensure all voters can safely, securely, and efficiently cast their ballot, regardless of political affiliation.” 

The election protection program is nonpartisan and not affiliated with any campaign or party. Volunteers will be stationed at poll sites throughout the state, including Boston, Worchester, Brockton, Lawrence, and Springfield. 

Poll monitors submit reports from each voting location they visit, documenting the voter experience including wait times, tech problems, language and disability access, and compliance with state and federal law. Poll monitors can also solve problems on the spot and escalate difficult issues to the toll-free 866-OUR-VOTE hotline, where volunteer operators can assist with more complex problems.  

Voters who encounter any issues can call or text the hotline to be connected to experts who can help. The hotline is available in the following languages:  

• ENGLISH: 866-OUR-VOTE / 866-687-8683   

• SPANISH: 888-VE-Y-VOTA / 888-839-8682   

• ASIAN LANGUAGES: 888-API-VOTE / 888-274-8683
