VRA Day of Action
About this event
August 8 is the first day of early voting for the August 18 election. If you are willing to be outside for 4 hours, join us to protect the right for everyone to vote on the first day of early voting in Broward County by being a poll monitor!
The League of Women Voters of Florida has been participating in the Florida Election Protection Coalition’s (FLEPC) coordinated nonpartisan poll monitoring program for at least the last five years. As a Nonpartisan Poll Monitor, you will:
1) Help make sure every registered voter gets to exercise their rights.
2) Train to support voters by answering questions, reporting issues, and connecting voters denied the ballot to legal resources.
3) Station outside of priority polling locations during early voting and election day (standard shift is 4 hours). You are located beyond the 150 ft no-solicitation zone.
4) Poll monitors do not and are specifically asked to not intervene in any unlawful or questionable activity they might see at the polls. A poll monitor observes and reports any issues to the Boiler Room/Command Center. A poll monitor may help a voter who has questions or who is having problems trying to vote.
You must complete the poll monitoring training via Zoom, with multiple training dates and times still remaining. It lasts about 90 minutes. There is a short learning assessment (quiz) at the end of training.
Poll Monitors who have completed the quiz will be given a link to sign up for the poll monitoring shift location, day and time of their choice. Volunteers can ONLY go to the locations indicated in the sign-up app! Shifts are 4 hours long.
