"This is a critical election for working families, so we must ensure that citizens know their voting rights and are prepared to do whatever it takes on Election Day to have their votes counted," said AFL-CIO Executive Vice President Arlene Holt Baker.

The spots, funded by contributions from AFL-CIO affiliated unions, are a key part of the AFL-CIO’s "My Vote, My Right" voter protection effort…On Election Day, AFL-CIO lawyers will also be on-hand to provide legal support for voters who encounter problems.

"The overall objective of our voter protection campaign is to have the nation's citizens successfully get to the polls, cast ballots, and have their ballots counted," said American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) National Vice President for Women and Fair Practices Andrea E. Brooks." Americans cannot continue to have their ability to participate in the democratic process taken away from them."
