Be a Vote Protector (Poll Monitor)
Our Election Protection program is just one more way Democracy North Carolina works to protect the rights of voters. In fact, vote protectors are the last line of defense. Our volunteers assist voters at polling places around the state, ensuring that every eligible voter can successfully cast a ballot. They also serve as the “eyes and ears on the ground”, sounding the alarm and documenting problems if they occur.
We are recruiting vote protectors from around the state for the 2020 Primary Election.
We need vote protectors during the last day of early voting (Saturday, Feb. 29) and on Election Day (Tuesday, Mar. 3).
As a vote protector, you will:
-
Attend a short training in a city or town near you
-
Receive a vote protector t-shirt, sign, and other materials
-
Monitor a polling place that will be assigned to you (polling places are chosen based on location, volume of voters, and history of voting problems)
-
Assist voters by distributing information, answering questions, and documenting problems
Vote protectors ensure that NC voters have the right information, support, and encouragement to make their voices heard in our great state. Sign up below!
