Election Protection Volunteers Needed for the May Elections!

The League is a member of the Election Protection coalition in Texas, which is seeking volunteer poll monitors to be on the ground at polling places throughout Texas to document and report any problems at the polls.  You will be part of the team ensuring that no one is deprived of their right to make their voice heard in the May elections.

The Election Protection coalition will be focusing on the first and last days of early voting and on Election Day for the May 24th elections. We encourage you to sign up as a poll monitor!  Training dates and times are on this sign up sheet. (add volunteer sign up sheet for next election)
