Franklin County VOTERS need YOU to protect our election!!

Election Protection Training for Poll Watchers (inside the polls), Voter Helpers (outside of the polls), and Canvassers Observers (inside at the Board of Elections facility where the ballots are officially counted).

Poll Watchers volunteer INSIDE the polls and OBSERVE what is to voters when they access their ballots, the actions of other organized groups challenging the eligibility of voters’ right to vote, and REPORT issues to our Franklin County Democratic Committee’s Election Protection attorneys. You must be a registered Democrat & reside in Franklin County to be a Poll Watcher.

Poll Greeters volunteer OUTSIDE the polls and SUPPORT the Poll Watchers and voters who have been denied a ballot or who feel intimidated. Poll Greeters actively ENGAGE with voters to resolve their ballot difficulties and REPORT issues to our Election Protection attorneys. You do not need to be a registered Democrat or a resident of Franklin County to be a Poll Greeter.

Training, materials, and credentials will be provided. Training is in-person at our Headquarters located at 115B S. Main Street, Chambersburg, PA 17201. Use the link below to sign-up for a training session. Email: Sheri Morgan at sherimorganphd@gmail.com if you have additional questions.
