The Poll Worker, Esq. initiative encourages lawyers and law students to work to ensure the voting process is safe and efficient and that all eligible votes are counted. To learn more, please watch this message from the ABA, NASS and NASED; and, visit canivote.org to learn how to become a poll worker in your community.
Visit - canivote.orgTo encourage lawyers to help fill the void, the states of Ohio, Indiana, Florida, Virginia, South Carolina, Kentucky and Nebraska are providing CLE credit for lawyers who train for service and who work the polls. If your state hasn’t taken this step, it is not too late to encourage your state’s accrediting agency to provide such an incentive!
The Issue: The recent outbreak of COVID-19, or the novel coronavirus, in the United States has renewed questions about the administration of elections in emergency situations. This document is intended to provide a general overview of state policies on this topic, as well as an update on efforts by election officials to deal with potential issues posed specifically by COVID-19.
It's as easy as: 1) REGISTER to vote, 2) VOTE, and 3) VOLUNTEER at the polls.
