Poll Worker Guide

Greeting voters as they arrive at a polling place is a great way to promote Yes on 4.

Please read the following information to be a volunteer poll worker. If you have any questions or need more information, contact a campaign field director for assistance - see list.

How to Start

Pick up a Yes on 4 Yard Sign from your local American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, or American Lung Association office. Click here for a list of offices serving as distribution centers. Home made signs will work too as long as they say "Yes on 4" large enough to read from a distance. Click here to down load a sample.

Smile and wave to voters as they walk up to catch their attention. Ask them to "Vote Yes on 4". Answer any questions they may have or tell them why you're voting for Amendment 4.

Working at your own polling place offers two advantages. First, you already know where it's located. And second, you are likely to recognize many of your friends and neighbors. This will help.

However, if you are able, locate the polling places with the highest number of registered voters. This will ensure that you can influence the highest number of voters possible. In some counties registrations range from as high as 4,000 to as low as 50 voters at a polling place. Your time is valuable, might as well spend it where you can have the greatest impact. To learn which sites are best, contact your local Supervisor of Elections office or a campaign field director.

Early Voting - Ends November 4th

Nearly all early voting locations will be busy. Contact your local Supervisor of Elections office to find the closest early voting polling place or click on the following link for a statewide list: Early Voting Sites (pdf document).

Election Day - November 7th

Plan on going to your own polling place. It will be busiest during the early morning (7:00 to 9:00 a.m.) and late afternoon (5:00 to 7:00 p.m.).

General Rules - Important

Obey elections officials instructions. Polling places will have a designated free speech area for poll workers, otherwise you must keep at least 100 feet from the entrance of the polling place.

If you are wearing a "Yes on 4" t-shirt, sticker or other promotional campaign material, you will not be allowed to enter the polling place. If you plan on voting during the time you volunteer at a polling place, please bring a jacket, different shirt to change into or otherwise you may not be allowed to vote.
