ATTORNEY GENERAL TO ASSIST WITH SAFE ELECTION DAY PROCESS

The Attorney General’s Office will be helping out all the counties on Election Day. Acting Attorney General John J. Hoffman announced today that approximately 170 Deputy Attorneys General (DAsG) will be assigned throughout the state on Election Day to help ensure a fair and smooth-running election, and to assist county election officials in resolving voting-related legal issues. According to Hoffman, DAsG from the Division of Law will be stationed in each of the state’s 21 counties to handle any court applications, and to provide timely legal advice to County Superintendents of Election and Boards of Election on emergent voting-related matters. The DAsG will be on duty from the time the polls open until they close.
