Voter Protection
Our Mission
The North Carolina Democratic Party and the Henderson County Democratic Party believe that in our county:
-
Every eligible NC voter should have meaningful access to cast their ballot conveniently
-
When a voter registers and casts their ballot, they should have a welcoming, positive experience
-
County Board of Elections and elections offices should work for voters - making the process smooth and easy to understand.
​
HCDP's Voter Protection team works to support these beliefs and ensure that every citizen has the ability to vote safely and conveniently.
What We Do at The Polls
​
At the polls:
During early voting, volunteers include:
-
Inside observers who watch and report on the election process. (Democrats only)
-
Roaming/at-large observers to come to the assistance of the above or voters. (Democrats only)
-
Outside poll greeters who offer voters information and a welcome. (Democrats or Unaffiliated voters)
On election day:
-
Inside observers who watch and report on the election process. (Democrats only)
-
Roaming/at-large observers to come to the assistance of the observers, greeters, or voters (Democrats)
NOTE: Outside poll greeters on election day are chosen and assigned by the precinct chairs.
We also provide notaries for absentee/mail-in ballots, rides to the polls and training for the observers and poll greeters.
