ServiceVote Action Team Alert #1

Greetings ServiceVote Action Team,
 
Here's an opportunity to serve your community during the Election - by serving as a poll worker. One of ServiceVote's partners, Mobilize.org, is mobilizing 500 young people to serve as poll workers on Election Day. The best part is - anyone can serve as a poll worker - and you'll learn a lot about how votes are actually cast and counted!


Mobilize The Polls - Serve as a Poll Worker


Are you from AL, AZ, AR, CA, CT, DC, FL, GA, HI, ID, IN, IA, KS, LA, MD, MO, NB, NV, NH, NC, ND, OH, OR, PA, RI, TN, VT or WV? If so, then you still have time to register as a poll worker! 

Mobilize.org is proud to launch the Mobilize the Polls Program, which aims to recruit 500 poll workers under the age of 30 (and hopefully engaging many people above 30 as well!) for the 2008 Presidential Election. This election year, while youth are coming out to the polls in record numbers, they also have the opportunity to contribute to their fellow citizens’ understanding and access to the democratic process by volunteering to be a poll worker. In many cities across the country, there is a demonstrable need for poll workers. With the new technologies that are being explored to enhance the voter experience, members of the Millennial Generation can contribute their familiarity with technology to aid other members of their community to cast their ballot this November.
