The assistant attorney general said, “Nondiscriminatory monitoring ensures all elections remain free, fair, and accessible to all.”
The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division is set to send approximately 1,000 election monitors across the nation to observe the November midterm elections at polling places. The department has already placed observers during the primaries of this election cycle.
“Election monitoring is an ongoing priority for this office,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the Civil Rights Division. “Nondiscriminatory monitoring ensures all elections remain free, fair, and accessible to all.”
The department highlighted that the Civil Rights Division’s Voting Section “enforces various federal statutes that protect the right to vote, including the Voting Rights Act, National Voter Registration Act, Help America Vote Act, Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Civil Rights Acts.“
Deploying election monitors is a longstanding practice of presidential administrations, as observers were sent to nine jurisdictions for the 2022 primaries and twenty-seven during the 2024 elections.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For AAG Dhillon to be prudent in her oversight and management of the Civil Rights Division and its Voting Section.
- For election observers as they monitor the midterm elections to ensure election integrity.
