Volunteers Needed to Register Voters
The fall is a busy time for League voter registration activities. We need your help!
National Voter Registration Day
Every year is election year. Did you know that as many as 1 in 4 eligible voters are not registered to vote? National Voter Registration Day is Tuesday, September 28, and this is that day that our League of Women Voters plays an active role to make sure that everyone has a voice in democracy.
We can’t do this without you. As a volunteer, you will help your community get #voteready. You only need to volunteer for a 2-hour shift on National Voter Registration Day, and you can even request a venue that is convenient for you.
Our venues this year include the following sites:
- Saratoga Hospital
- Glens Falls Hospital
- Saratoga YMCA
- SUNY Adirondack, Wilton Campus
- Ben and Jerry's
- Saratoga Housing Authority
- Stewarts Shops in Ballston Lake, Clifton Park, Queensbury, Glens Falls, Saratoga Lake Avenue, Schuylerville, Saratoga Ballard Road and Saratoga Jones Road.
We encourage all our volunteers to attend a training session on September 14 to be held at the Methodist Church located in Saratoga Springs. You can attend either the 3pm or 7pm training session.
If you cannot help out the day of National Voter Registration Day, there are other opportunities to help us out. If you would like to help out or have questions, please email us at president@lwvsaratoga.org.
Voter Registration at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market
Volunteers are needed for Voter Registration and Voter Information at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market ( 112 High Rock Avenue Saratoga Springs). No experience needed – you will work with an experienced League member.
We’ll be staffing a table on Saturdays from 9am to 1pm, on September 11 & 25, October 2, 16, and 30. On Wednesdays we’ll be there from 3 -6pm, on September 15 & 29, October 6 & 20. You don’t have to be there the whole time – decide how much time you can give. The October dates especially are weather dependent….we don’t staff a table when inclement weather is in the area.
You’ll be giving out information on the Five Ballot Resolutions; Early Voting; Voter Registration; Absentee Ballots, League membership.
