Help protect the vote on Primary Election Day 2009, May 19.

You can volunteer as little as 3hrs or All Day! New volunteers must attend training. Experienced volunteers are not required to attend a training but can pick up their toolkits, receive a briefing on May 19th and then be deployed to their assigned polling site. All volunteers must talk with EP Coordinators first before showing up on May 19^th. We need attorneys, students, and members of faith groups, non-profits, unions and community organizations to help “Protect The Vote” on May 19, 2009 in Allegheny County. We are committed to protecting voters in “Each and Every Election” by informing voters of their rights, making sure that every vote is counted and every voice is heard.
