voter assistance
Election day support
Voter assistance refers to help provided to people participating in elections—whether registering to vote, understanding ballots, or physically casting votes.
It includes official programs like curbside voting for disabled voters and language interpreters at polling places, as well as unofficial efforts by volunteers and organizations: The nonprofit offers voter assistance to first-time citizens.
The term sometimes appears in debates about election integrity, where critics argue certain forms of assistance cross into improper influence.
