Dear John,

Today marks 26 days until Election Day. Now more than ever, protecting our right to vote is important to ensure that our voices are heard.

During unprecedented times when Republicans across the country are forcing restrictive and racist voter suppression laws, our Voter Protection Team is playing a critical role in ensuring that Every Vote Counts!
CADEM’s Voter Protection Team is seeking attorneys who are interested in volunteering and assisting in our voter protection activities.

The California Democratic Party is sponsoring California Election Legal Training, approved by the State Bar of California for MCLE credit.
 

Learn: 

• How to ensure that Democratic voters are protected from intimidation before and on Election Day.

• The ins and outs of the rules on:

  • Vote-By-Mail Ballots, including issues regarding applying for a ballot, returning the ballot, and post-Election Day regarding signature match and cure procedures

  • Voter's Choice Act issues, including Vote Centers, Drop-off Locations and more.

  • Electioneering Before and on Election Day.

  • Collecting Ballots from Voters.

  • Provisional Ballots.

  • Identification Checks at the Polls.

  • Challenges to Voters.

  • And More!

Here are some upcoming key dates:

• August 30, 2021: Last day to register to vote. You can “conditionally” register and vote at your county elections office or polling location after the voter registration deadline, up to and including Election Day. 

• September 14, 2021: Election Day

If you are interested in volunteering as a Voter Protection Hotline Operator or Poll Watcher (August 30 - September 14, 2021) this cycle, please sign up on this form.
