Protecting Everyone's Rights Starts with You: Volunteer Today

Midterm elections are upon us, and the ACLU of Utah is taking action to uphold the integrity of the election and ensure every Utahn’s vote is counted.

As part of a nationwide effort, we are recruiting, training, and deploying as many nonpartisan Election Protection poll watchers as we can across the state—and we want you to join us! As a volunteer poll watcher, you will serve as voters' first line of defense against confusing voting rules, outdated infrastructure, misinformation, and needless obstacles to the ballot box. You will observe, monitor, and report on the polling site and election process, without violating voter privacy or disrupting the election.

Responsibilities include:

• Observing the setup or takedown of a polling place
• Observing a voter check in at a polling place
• Observing the collection, receipt, and processing of a ballot, including a provisional ballot

Sign up now to be a nonpartisan poll watcher and stay connected to our updates via the Protect the Vote website (managed by partners at Common Cause).

Because protecting your rights means protecting everyone’s, and we can’t do it without you.

That might mean helping at events, showing up for urgent actions, or using your skills to support our work behind the scenes. Sometimes, there will be many opportunities, and other times, we may go quiet. But when it’s time to mobilize, you’ll be the first to know.
