How to Help at the Polls

Volunteers are welcome to work as a representative of a political party at polling locations throughout each county. These volunteer positions are different from the role of Poll Workers, who are hired by the county to help operate polling locations. Here are the 2 roles you may volunteer for.

  1. Poll Greeter

    Poll Greeters remain outside of the perimeter of the polling place and present party literature, signs, and other campaign materials. Poll Greeters aim to boost morale of party voters as they enter the polls as well as potentially sway those who are yet undecided. You can sign up to Poll Greet at specific locations at particular times through an organization such as your local Democrat party or you may simply go to a poll when it is convenient. Remember to stay 100 ft away from the actual polling place!

  2. Poll Watcher

    Poll Watchers undergo a 90 minute online training in which they learn the important rules that must be enforced at polling locations as well as what to do in the event of an issue. Poll Watchers are sent by each party and it is important to have enough volunteers for our party to represented at every poll.
