Problems at the polls? Virginia voters have a hotline to call

For anyone who hits a snag while tying to cast their ballot in Virginia’s Democratic primary on Tuesday, there’s a hotline available to help.

The Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights Under Law will have legal volunteers answering the nonpartisan 866-OUR-VOTE number, or 866-687-8683, throughout Election Day.

They’ll be answering calls from voters who need help casting their ballot during the primary, or to report any problems they have when they vote.

The hotline will be operational from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday — exactly as long as the polls will be open statewide.

Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, which opens by Dec. 31, is one of the most important steps students and their families can take to pay for college. Some states now make completing the FAFSA a high school graduation requirement.

Those federal funds will assist roughly 9.8 million students in completing their education.
