Sign Up to Volunteer as an Election Protection Poll Monitor

From Common Cause (http://www.commoncause.org):

TAKE ACTION: Do your part to stop voter suppression by signing up as an Election Protection poll monitor today at https://protectthevote.net/.

Last year in 2021, at least 19 states passed 34 laws restricting access to voting – meaning that eligible voters in 2022 will face new and confusing restrictions on their right to vote. And voters trying to prepare for these changes will face the same rising misinformation on social media we’ve seen for over a decade, along with the usual last-minute dirty tricks designed to keep them from the polls.

That’s why every election year, we recruit, train, and deploy hundreds of Election Protection poll monitors in Pennsylvania, and thousands across the nation. These trained, nonpartisan volunteers serve as voters’ first line of defense against confusing voting rules, outdated infrastructure, rampant misinformation, and needless obstacles to the ballot box.

Today, we’re asking you to join our 2022 Election Protection program, starting in just a few weeks.

We’ll provide all the training and resources you need to assist voters, and there’s a supportive community of fellow volunteers that’ll have your back the whole way. There’s a role for everyone — whether it’s helping voters from home, assisting voters safely in person, or tracking online disinformation. Sign up today.

Volunteer Now

Nonpartisan Election Protection volunteers like you will be voters’ first line of defense against restrictive election laws, changes to polling locations or procedures, or anything else that could silence their voices.

We’ll help you find the best way to get involved — whether that’s monitoring polling places, watchdogging social media for disinformation and voters in need of help, or reaching out to voters to make sure they know their rights. We also work to place voters within their own communities, so you can protect your neighbors and friends!

Unfortunately, voters this year will face obstacles that have no place in a modern democracy — and these impediments to voting will hit communities of color the hardest.

We all know about the problems facing our democracy – confusing rules around the polls that differ from state to state, rampant disinformation, and more. You can be a part of the solution by volunteering as an Election Protection poll monitor today.
