Poll Observer Training - DPVA
2025-09-25 19:00 - 20:15
Poll observers are volunteers who have received training to sit inside (or outside) and observe the process of voting in an assigned precinct during early voting or on election day. The first training provides you with information about procedures and what to look for as an observer. The second training is to prepare you to use the voter protection hotline.
This training is a great resource for District Captains, Precinct Captains, and volunteers who work the polls, as well. The links to sign up for live trainings are included below. The link for on-demand trainings will be available in next week’s newsletter.
Please sign up using the links below and also send your name to Deb Aldrich

Voter Protection Hotline Training
2025-09-27 12:00 - 13:00
SIGN UP HERE
The Democratic Party of Virginia Coordinated Campaign’s Voter Protection team is working to ensure that every voter has access to the polls and that every vote is counted. To accomplish this, we need your help! Please join us for one of our trainings to be a hotline volunteer.
Hotline volunteers play a key role in supporting our state-wide hotline by providing callers with important information and assistance throughout Early Voting and on Election Day. Our volunteers directly answer calls and texts received on the hotline and help record important information for our team. Virginia voters call the hotline for a wide variety of reasons – with questions related to voting in Virginia (e.g., how to register to vote and where/when to vote), reporting incidents on Election Day (e.g., long waiting lines, closed polls, denial of ballots), and everything in between.
We will train, assign, and support you to make sure that you are as prepared and effective as possible on the hotline. No previous experience is necessary. You do not need to be a Virginia resident or present in the state to volunteer as a hotline volunteer.
You must attend at least one training to be a hotline volunteer.
If you have any questions, please contact us at voterprotection@opvavictory.org.
