Free Election Volunteering Opportunities

Upcoming Events In Support Of Democracy

(In Person events are in West Seattle; Virtual Events Are Everywhere!) 

Ballot Curing

Ballot "Curing" helps people who have already cast their vote, but whose ballots have not been accepted. The mission is to contact them and help them solve the problem. Generally it is a positive experience because people who voted tend to want their vote to count!

The Environmental Voter Project (EVP) identifies environmentalists who are unlikely to vote and reaches out to encourage participation in elections.
