STATE PRIORITIES AND LINKS ; if you want to focus on a specific state, pick it out on this list and go for it.


Arizona Priorities and Links
A. Poll Observers.  AZ needs more poll observers for both Early Voting (especially in the last week) and on Election Day. Some counties require poll observers to be registered voters, but others, including the largest county, Maricopa county allows out of state poll observers.

B. Volunteer recruitment phone banks (fully remote): Over the next few weeks Arizona volunteer recruitment phone banks will probably shift into a chase/cure phone bank, to help people whose ballots have been rejected. azdem.org/pollobserver

North Carolina Priorities and Links
A. Chase/Cure phone bank/hotline: www.tinyurl.com/NCchasecure  Help people whose absentee ballots have been rejected. Doesn’t require a lawyer, but you need to be able to work through a lot of rules (long script) with individuals so that their ballot isn’t rejected again.  

B. Poll observers for early voting and election day: www.tinyurl.com/pollobservers They expect lots of intimidation and really need people on the ground. Anyone from any state can be an outside poll watcher.  Need to be a NC voter to be a poll watcher inside the polls.

C. NC Voter Assistance Hotline: www.tinyurl.com/NCDemVoterHotline  Anyone from any state can do hotline calls. Note: If you have language skills to offer to NC, here is the link: tinyurl.com/hotlinelang

Pennsylvania Priorities and Links
A. Volunteer Recruitment Phone-banking: www.mobilize.us/padems/event/307537/

B. Poll Observer: www.mobilize.us/pavotepro/event/319170/

C. Vote-Early Monitor: www.mobilize.us/pavotepro/event/317130/  For the first time, all PA voters will soon have the option to vote early in person at their county elections office by requesting, completing, and submitting a mail-in ballot. 

D. Canvass Observer: www.padems.com/votepro  The canvass is generally not open to the public, so voters count on select volunteer canvass observers like you to monitor the process and ensure all eligible votes are counted. Canvass Observers assist elections officials by watching for and reporting issues at their canvass site, stand up for voters if their mail votes are challenged, and report key information to our team.

Texas Priorities and Links
A. Poll watchers – must be registered voter in the county. Need them for 254 counties. There will be 3 weeks of early voting this year, so they need watchers in each polling place for all three weeks, in addition to election day. There will be a 1-hour on-demand training and constant support. 

B. Phone banking to help recruit in-state poll watchers. Anyone from any state can participate in phone banking to identify and recruit poll watchers.

C. Long term projects – if you have a generous amount of time, they have many projects they could plug you into, especially if you have legal background.  Does not require Texas residency.
