Needed: Poll Greeters and Site Captains
We need Poll Greeters and Site Captains: One of the more successful programs initiated by New Hanover Democrats in recent years is the Blue Ballot program. Blue Ballots are a half page slate card with early voting information on the back, which we print on blue paper on a half page. In previous years we recruited poll greeters who would approach voters and offer a blue ballot. In the middle of the pandemic we expect a more socially distanced role. Instead of approaching voters with literature we recommend that interactions be limited to offering blue ballots from a distance like a carnival barker.
Another important role is the site captain. We have nine early voting sites and need a site captain for each. The site captain will be responsible for setup and takedown each day. The site captain is also responsible for securing printed materials overnight. The site captain job can be done with very little public contact.
We accomplish a lot with Blue Ballots. It has become common for voters to show up at the polls asking for them. This year Sally Meserole has again agreed to schedule volunteers to staff polling places to distribute Blue Ballots.
Best,
Richard Poole, Chair
