Join the League and our partners to create an Election Protection Taskforce during this election season. We are recruiting volunteers across New York State in partnership with the NAACP and Common Cause to support nonpartisan election observation efforts. Volunteers will serve within their own counties, helping to observe polling locations during early voting and on Election Day.
Volunteers will have multiple training opportunities and use a standardized observation checklist to document polling place conditions, such as accessibility, wait times, and other aspects of the voting experience. The observation process does not include reviewing or verifying vote counts or voter totals.
Please fill out this google form to indicate your interest in volunteering. Join us for an information session and find out more about participating in the taskforce on August 12 at 6pm! Register for that information session below.
