Volunteers are needed to protect Democratic votes cast in the midterms.

Vote protection, near or after election day, ensures every eligible citizen can cast a ballot and have it accurately counted.

  • Poll Watching: local election officials train and authorize volunteers to sit inside voting and counting locations to ensure election workers follow regulations. They document irregularities and help voters who face improper challenges.
  • Poll Monitoring: volunteers are outside polling place legal buffer zones to report operational issues, such as long lines or improper/aggressive behavior.  They can greet voters, conduct exit polls, or hold campaign signs. They cannot demand identification, follow or film voters, or intimidate voters.
  • Ballot “Curing”: volunteers contact voters by phone or in person if a mail-in ballot has a minor mistake, like a missing signature. This gives voters a chance to fix errors before the deadline. Volunteer Blue, and our partners, will train you to cure ballots, an easy phone call or door knock to friendly Democrats on a “curing” list. Every ballot “cured” can be another vote for a Democrat!
