Asian American Election Protection and
Poll Monitoring
Defending Asian American Voting Rights
-----------------
Trainings on Thursday, Oct. 16
and Friday, Oct. 17
At Boston Univ. Law, Suffolk Law, Northeastern Law
and Bingham McCutchen LLP, 1 Federal Street
In past elections, Asian Americans have faced a series of barriers
in exercising their right to vote. For example, poll workers
were hostile and made racist remarks, poll sites had too few
interpreters to assist Asian American voters, translated voting
materials were missing or hidden from voters, and ballots were
mistranslated listing Democratic candidates as Republicans,
and vice versa. When the news media reports on election returns
and the vote by specific groups, Asian Americans were often
overlooked.
In response, the Asian American Legal Defense and Education
Fund has conducted a non-partisan survey of Asian American voters
to document Asian American voting patterns. AALDEF has also
monitored the elections for compliance with the federal Voting
Rights Act, which mandates bilingual ballots and forbids anti-Asian
voter discrimination.
On Election Day on Tuesday, November 4, 2008, several groups
will be monitoring the Presidential Elections and conducting
non-partisan voter surveys at polling sites in Eastern Massachusetts.
We need your help.
In 2004 elections, 1,200 volunteers polled almost 11,000 Asian
American voters in eight states. Volunteers are needed to administer
a multilingual voter survey in 3-hour shifts and document voting
problems on Election Day. Polls are generally open from 7:00
a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
There will be a one and a half hour training session for all
volunteers. All volunteers must be non-partisan during the time
that they help. To sign up, go to www.aaldef.net
and complete the registration form. Thank you!

explaining what they do and (2) to allow Muslims to raise concerns
they may have. There will be a Question and Answer period where
people can raise any tough questions they may have. Please email
us your questions in advance!
