Volunteer poll monitors are voters’ first line of defense against suppression tactics, confusing laws, outdated infrastructure, and other impediments at the polling stations.

With the 2020 general election right around the corner, Common Cause New York will be training and deploying hundreds of nonpartisan volunteer poll monitors to identify voter intimidation, help voters troubleshoot problems and report bad practices at polling places to election authorities.
