Vote411 Volunteers

Our Vote411 Team is gearing up for fall elections, and need help! For the uninitiated, Vote411.org is a nationwide, nonpartisan website that generates a personalized voter guide for voters who enter their address. League volunteers contact candidates in their area to invite them to share information about their campaign. The candidates' unedited information is then publized in Vote411 to help spread the word to voters in their community about their candidacy for local, state, or national office.
 
We especially need people in Orange County, but Durham and Chatham also need volunteers to help contact candidates and distribute Vote411 road signs, flyers, etc. Contact Valeria, lwv.valgist [at] gmail.com, if you can help!

Volunteer Opportunity: Attend Monthly Board of Elections Meeting

Having one or more League members at the monthly meetings of the county Boards of Elections is easy. Meetings are open to the public and Boards are pleased to have observers. There is a time for public comment, but it is also fine just to go listen. You will learn a great deal about how the Board does its work of making elections fair, secure, and accessible. And developing an ongoing relationship between the local Board and the local League is a excellent foundation for substantive two-way communication. The Voter Services team is looking for volunteers to attend meetings in all three of our counties. The Chatham team is well-established but would be delighted to have other members join us to 'learn the ropes.'

The Chatham Board of Elections meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 5:30pm at the Board office (80 East St # D, Pittsboro, NC 27312)  Website
