The DFL Lawyers Committee is seeking attorneys and law students to serve as poll watchers on Election Day to help ensure folks are properly afforded their right to vote. The job will require taking Election Day off of work, as well as attending a 1-2 hour training session at the end of October. There will be volunteers and a voter protection team that will help set you up and support you with everything you need to be a poll watcher, so don’t worry if you’ve never done anything like the before.
Interested law students and attorneys should sign up on the DFL’s Election Protection website, and they will get you more information on training opportunities. You can also email DFLelectionprotection2018@gmail.com for more information.
