There are just 49 days until election day, a mere 30 days until early voting begins, and 294 days until General Election day. In 2022 we covered all 100 counties, hired 25,000 Poll Workers, 700+ Attorneys across the State, and held over 650 training sessions. We are now working to recruit Poll Workers and Observers!
