Be a Poll Greeter

Each Early Voting location will have a table with the Blue Ballot and candidate information. We need volunteers to man those tables.

Peggy Dickerson with Meck Dems schedules volunteers for all Early Voting and Election Day polling sites in Mecklenburg. 

To volunteer to serve at a table, email Peggy (peggy@meckdems.org) so she can help you find the best shift and location. 

Include your:

  • Phone number

  • Best time to call 

**Poll Greeter - Poll Greeters are volunteers who work outside the polling place during Early Voting and on Election Day (in precincts where greeting is allowed).  Greeters offer our Blue Ballot cards to voters as they arrive on site, and encourage them to vote all the way down the ballot for our good Democratic candidates.  Greeters typically wear our MeckDems t-shirts so they are recognized as Dems. We do not, however, wear political attire when going inside the polling place, so poll greeters should bring a shirt or sweater to put over their t-shirt when going inside to the restroom or to interact with poll staff.

Contact Peggy if you are interested!
