Voting in the LSC elections? Our hotline is open

On Wednesday and Thursday this week, parents and community members will have a chance to cast their ballots for our city's most hyperlocal elected bodies - Chicago's Local School Councils (LSCs).
Because LSCs have a great deal of power in how schools run, these elections have big consequences for racial equity in our education system.
Voters with questions or concerns about the LSC elections can call or text the Chicago Lawyers’ Committee hotline at 262-729-3082 for free and immediate non-partisan assistance. Spanish-language assistance is available upon request, thanks to MALDEF.
Our non-partisan pollwatchers are trained to help answer voters' questions, and to respond in case of electioneering, poll worker misconduct, and other interference with voters’ rights.
Every eligible voter should be able to cast their ballot in the LSC elections on Nov. 18 and 19.
Learn more about the elections here, and please help us spread the word about our hotline by sharing our posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
