Voter Service

The Voter Services Committee is continuing preparations for the March 2012 primary poll-watching project. The committee is recruiting poll-watching volunteers and plans to offer a poll-watcher training session in January in conjunction with the Davidson County Election Commission. Details about the date, time, and location will be sent to members and posted on the website as soon as plans are finalized. Poll watchers are vital to the election process, ensuring that elections are fair, transparent, and accessible.

The upcoming year will see increased voter registration activity because it is a presidential election year. To facilitate voter registration, the committee is leading a community outreach effort. Committee co-chairs will host Train-the-Trainer sessions for any business, group, or organization interested in providing voter registration services. If you know of a business or organization that is interested in learning how to register voters, or if you are interested in poll watching for LWVN, please contact Libby Thurman (libbysthurman@gmail.com; 497-4942) or Lynn Williams (lynn@lynnwms.com; 383-0778) to participate. consider helping us reach our goal this year.

Poll Watching

Poll watching is an ongoing LWVN project coordinated by the Voter Services Committee. Poll watchers are credentialed by the Davidson County Election Commission and observe voting processes for issues of voter accessibility, consistency of operations, and the overall organization of voting processes. Poll watchers complete "Poll Watcher Observation" checklists to ensure that all poll watchers are assessing similar issues at the precincts.
