Election Day isn't just about choosing your candidate. It's about keeping the foundation of democracy strong.
But we need your help. This November, the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey and League of Women Voters of New Jersey are looking for your help to monitor the polls and answer our voter hotlines.
You would offer voters information about their rights, conduct exit polling about voters' experiences casting their votes, and educate voters about their options at one of our sites across the state on November 4.
What to Expect
- Each session as a poll monitor lasts for at least four hours November 4
- Volunteers must attend a three-hour training session in the weeks before November 4. Trainings will be held in afternoon, evening and weekend sessions to accommodate your schedule.
- You will be working with another person staffed at your site, and the ACLU-NJ and LWVNJ will be available to help you if you run into problems
- Polling sites will be in Newark, Elizabeth, Hoboken, Hackensack, Trenton and New Brunswick, among other cities. We try our best to accommodate specific requests, but our placements are based on availability and need.
What you'll need
- Volunteers must have cell phones to keep in contact with election protection staff
- Volunteers must provide their own transportation to and from their polling sites, in addition to other sites. If you want to volunteer at a specific polling site, we will try our best to accommodate your request, but we assign our monitors based on availability and need.
Volunteering for the hotline
- The two hotline sites are the LWVNJ office in Trenton and the ACLU-NJ office in Newark
- Volunteers must also attend a three-hour training session before November 4
- Volunteers must have their own transportation to the offices, but both are accessible by public transportation.
