Election Protection 2008 Poll Monitors Needed
The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey and the League of Women
Voters of New Jersey Education Fund seek volunteer poll monitors for a
statewide election protection effort during the February 5 primary election.
Volunteer poll monitors will offer votersÂ’ rights information to citizens
entering polling locations and survey people about their voting experience.
Monitors will also refer people who had problems voting to a voter protection
hotline and notify ACLU-NJ staff. When possible, attorneys will be available to
assist voters and poll monitors who encounter problems at the polls.
Volunteers must be available for four- to five-hour shifts at polling places
on February 5, and attend a two-hour training session during the week of
January 28; afternoon and evening times will be available. Volunteers will have
to provide their own transportation to/from their assigned polling place and
have a cell phone on and available during their shift. Polling places will be
in Newark , Elizabeth , Hoboken , Hackensack , Trenton , New Brunswick and
other sites. We will try to accommodate volunteersÂ’ first choice of polling
location.
We also need a few trained volunteers to help at the voter protection
hotlines in Newark and Trenton , answering phones and entering data into the
election protection database.

are interested in participating in the ACLU-NJ/LWVNJ Voter Protection
Presidential Primary 2008.
