What Will Volunteers Do?

LWVCS Volunteers will work during the busy last four days of the election (Sat. 11/1-Tue. 11/4) as Couriers and Supplies Coordinators, supporting ELVS – the Election Logistics Voting Systems organization of the ROV.

Couriers will drive as 2-person teams to either:
- pick up filled ballot bags and convey them to the ROV for counting, at specified times, from either:
a Vote-by-Mail Drop Box Vote Center
or a Vote Center

or deliver election supplies to Vote Centers as needed,

Coordinators will work shift(s) at one of the ROV Logistics and Supply Centers (LaSC) to coordinate Couriers’ deliveries of election supplies to Vote Centers.

When are Volunteers Needed?

To give you an idea of what the time commitment is like:

TIME COMMITMENT #1: Every volunteer must attend an in-person training session (less than an hour long) before volunteering even if you've done the training before.
Multiple training sessions will be available a few weeks before the election.

TIME COMMITMENT #2: The times the Registrar of Voters needs help with this election are:

Task	Sat 10/25	Sun 10/26	Mon 10/27	Tue 10/28	Wed 10/29	Thu 10/30	Fri 10/31	Sat 11/1	Sun 11/2	Mon 11/3	Tue 11/4

Note: It's helpful if LaSc Coordinators and Driver teams commit to more than one day, so they can better learn the Supply Center, but don't let that stop you! There will be lunch breaks and short breaks as needed, throughout the LaSC shifts.
