Philadelphians Need Your Help On Election Day!
Volunteering with the non-partisan Committee of Seventy’s Election Oversight Program. On Tuesday, April 22, the polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. You have your choice of volunteering for a few hours or all day. Citizen Field Teams will visit polling places in a geographical area of their choice to answer voters’ questions, document complaints, and help solve disputes. Citizen Teams will be backed up by experienced legal volunteers both in the field and at their headquarters.
Help out at the Penn Relays.
