The Democratic Party of Virginia Coordinated Campaign’s Voter Protection team is working to ensure that every voter has access to the polls and that every vote is counted. To accomplish this, we need your help! Please join us for one of our trainings to be a poll observer for Early Vote and Election Day. Poll observers are our eyes and ears on the ground at polling places across the state on Election Day. They identify potential issues at the polls and work us and election officials to protect voters. We will train, assign, and support you to make sure that you are as prepared and effective as possible on your Election Day or Early Vote shift. You must attend at least one training to be a poll observer. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected] [[email protected]] .

* Protect the Vote: Quick Training for ALL Volunteers [[link removed]] (FCDC Election Law & Voter Protection) - Weekly starting Oct. 6 @ 7 PM; Zoom. This training is for all FCDC volunteers with a special focus on helping poll greeters and precinct captains protect voting rights! Training will cover voting access issues that often come up outside of polling locations, including disability access, long lines, and political demonstrations. We will also discuss voting rights and how to handle common voting problems, possible solutions, and how you can ensure that every voter can cast a ballot and have it counted! The training will last 30 minutes; however, optional time for questions may go beyond half an hour. All training sessions are identical; choose the date that works best for you!
BRADDOCK DISTRICT SUPERVISOR NOMINATION CONTEST
It is likely that the Chief Judge of the Fairfax Circuit Court will soon issue a Writ for Special Election to fill the vacancy created by the election of James Walkinshaw to Congress. The date of the special election could be as early as December 9 with 45 days of early voting starting Friday, October 24 (early voting date and duration subject to change). It is the responsibility of FCDC to create a fair method in which voters may choose the Democratic nominee. Towards that end, FCDC is planning a firehouse primary for Saturday, October 4; details to follow sometime in the next few days.
