Conduct poll evaluations
Poll evaluators visit one or two precincts on election day to verify that the polls are following processes and procedures required by the Board of Elections.The evaluator completes a survey document after the visit, which are returned to the Board of Elections. This helps the BOE identify issues at precincts so they can be corrected in future elections.
Volunteers are trained by the Board of Elections staff. The training takes one to two hours and includes an overview of the election judge training. To volunteer, call the League office at 410-377-8046 or email [email protected].
