HELP MAKE OUR VOTES COUNT! VOLUNTEER WITH CFVI NOW!
CFVI is part of a national campaign to try to ensure that our votes count.
We have Volunteer Opportunities to ensure an accurate election. 200 Volunteers needed on Election Day!
Below are some ways you can help to ensure that the voting machines and vote counting machines have recorded votes accurately. Election day and the days before and after the election are vital times for gathering certain types of information which will help us determine whether the machines are working correctly. Everyone's efforts are needed.
Please contact Carolyn Bninski at 303-444-6981x5 if you plan to help with any of the tasks below. Note special instructions for poll watchers and official canvassers. We are asking ALL volunteers to contact us and to come to one of our trainings listed below.
Volunteer Opportunities: Visit precincts at the end of the day and record the numbers of votes for each candidate and for the initiatives posted outside the precincts. This process is important to insure that the voting machines figures and the number of people who voted match. This task will begin around 7:00 p.m. and will last 2-3 hours.
Staff a hotline- Report election problems that occur throughout the day. This will go into a national database. You can volunteer for as many hours as you are available.
Poll Watch or Official Canvasser -Canvassers monitor the counting of Absentee Ballots/Early Voting Results/Election Day Results/and Provisional Ballots both during the day and in the evening. They work at central tabulations.
-Poll watchers represent your favorite candidate or ballot issue by watching voting at the precincts. Help verified voting by comparing numbers of people voting with actual tabulations. At the end of the day, we will be comparing counts. This is an all day job.
