On Election Day, a friendly face outside the polls makes a difference. Greeters offer a card with the Democrats on the ballot to anyone who wants one, and help any neighbor who comes out with a problem find the fix.

Tuesday, November 3rd. Polls are open 7 AM to 7 PM. We're covering the morning and evening rush: 7 to 10 AM and 4 to 7 PM at all five places, and all day at Jerkins. Pick a polling place and a three-hour shift below. Take more than one if you can.

Where we need you

• Jerkins Building, 1201 Martin Luther King Ave. (Precinct 13)
• Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, 2975 Pisgah Rd. (Precinct 14)
• First United Methodist Church, 302 N. Jefferson St. (Precinct 1)
• Boyd Methodist Church, 2458 Boyd Rd. (Precinct 7)
• Forest Capital Hall, 203 Forest Park Dr. (Precincts 2 and 9)

What greeters do

• Stand outside the 150-foot line the poll workers mark. Never inside it.
• Smile, say good morning, and offer a card. Take "no thanks" for an answer, every time.
• If a voter comes out with a problem, point them to the voter protection hotline or a ride, and text our chair, Trey Blue.
• Never touch, carry, or hold anyone's ballot.

No experience needed. We'll get you the cards and a one-page sheet with everything you need to know, as well as signs for our candidates.

Bring: a folding chair, water, sunscreen or a jacket, and a charged phone. If you have a pop-up canopy, let us know and we can assist setting it up!
