ABOUT THE PROJECT

Election Protection, Rooted in Community

The West Side Election Protection Project was created with a simple belief:

Our community should have the knowledge, relationships, and tools to protect our own right to participate in democracy.

We are building a hyper-local election protection network rooted in Saint Paul’s West Side.

Our work brings together neighbors, community leaders, volunteers, organizations, and election protection partners to identify barriers to voting and connect people with trusted support.

We don't tell people who to vote for.

We help protect their ability to vote.

Our work is nonpartisan and focused on voter access, accurate information, community safety, and the protection of voting rights.
