3 Ways Concerned Americans Can Help Ensure Fair Elections
With so much talk lately about fraudulent elections, uncounted ballots and the dangers of mail-in voting, iVoterGuide is highlighting three ways Americans can get involved and help make an impact on the fairness of elections this November.
- Sign up to work at the polls. Poll workers are critical to the success of an election. Having an adequate number of poll workers to staff polling places on and before Election Day can ensure voters receive the assistance they need at the polls and can help provide a positive and smooth voting experience for all. By signing up to be a poll worker, you can help America vote.
Amid COVID-19, America is facing a critical shortage of poll workers. Even as many states expand access to vote-by-mail and absentee voting options, millions of Americans will continue to rely on in-person voting to cast a ballot. Sept. 1 was National Poll Worker Recruitment Day, and the Federal Election Commission has put together an entire website to make it easy for citizens to get more information.
- Sign up to be a poll watcher. Most states have unpaid positions called “poll watchers” where people from each party are allowed in the polling location to observe how voting is handled. These poll watchers are essential to both parties and candidates.
- Pray specifically for all things related to the election. From the protection of poll workers to the weather and votes for the godly to turn out to vote, prayers work. Intercessors for America has a great guide on praying for elections. Get theirs or pray privately and personally each day before the election.
The 2020 election is one of the more important elections in recent history. While it is important for citizens to get out and vote, it is even more important that every vote is counted.
