Open Office Hours: For all your questions or just to say hi! We will be here every Friday from 1-2pm starting October 11 through Election Day. Join here!

Poll Monitors 

Poll Monitors support voters at the polls in-person, answering questions but also connecting voters denied the ballot to legal resources. This is a great way to directly assist voters and be our eyes and ears at the polls, making sure every valid registered voter gets to exercise their rights.

BOE Monitoring: 

Attend your local Board of Elections meetings to observe their process and report back to us about any need-to-know developments, including equipment testing. We will observe now until after the election when all votes are counted and certified. 

Social media monitoring:

Social Media Monitors will identify voters posting on social media about problems voting, and connect them to resources and support. Additionally, you’ll be catching and reporting vote-related misinformation and disinformation.
