What We Do
The EPN coordinates the work organizations and community members to protect voter’s rights. Some of our work includes:
Training members to be Democracy Navigators who are knowledgeable about the rules, dates, and options for eligible Minnesota voters to cast their ballot.* Click here to get trained!
Training Democracy Navigators to be on the ground to accurately observe and document any violations of voting rights.*
Educating voters on their rights and sharing verified information with their communities.
Blocking the distribution of false or misleading voter information.
Manage an election hotline to receive and document any reports of violations of voters’ rights.
Encouraging all eligible voters in Minnesota to vote!
If you experience or witness any threats or violations of voters’ rights report it by calling 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683), or texting VOTE to 30319.
