The Four Most Effective Ways to Volunteer:
-
Knock Doors
Our most effective tool is knocking on doors and talking to people, right where they live. We'll provide all the training and materials you need.
-
Phone Bank
Phone banking is the second most effective way to reach voters. We provide training and scripts. You can call during phone bank sessions or on your own.
-
Poll Observe
Observe the process of voting while seated inside the polls. Training provided for these approx. 4-hour shifts. Use the top tabs or drop-down menu to choose a voting site.
-
Poll Greet
Offer Sample Ballots and candidate information to voters as they arrive. Training & materials provided for these 2-hour shifts. Use the top tabs or drop-down menu to choose a voting site.
Other Volunteer Options
Rover for Early Voting
Rovers drive half the county to replenish supplies to poll greeters. The route takes about 3 hours with stops and is about 65 miles long. The rovers start and end at Buncombe Dems HQ. Gas cards are available if necessary. Orientation will be in early October.
