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.
