ABOUT SOULS TO THE POLLS

Souls to the Polls is a local effort to promote voter activation by engaging organizations, specifically local churches and other faith communities. We are asking congregations to engage in various activities and actions that promote voter education and activation, but ultimately this campaign is designed for people to invite members, friends, and family to go vote together on early voting day. The reasons are simple and straightforward:

  • The Black church has always been a leader in the fight for voting and civil rights
  • Bigger groups lead to greater participation
  • Working together, we  can reduce the obstacles to voting
  • When we show up together, we reduce the threat of voter intimidation
  • THERE’S TOO MUCH AT STAKE!

Work The Polls

County clerks are always in need of responsible, registered voters to serve as precinct election officers. A precinct election officer is a very important person who works the polls all day on election day to ensure that voting is conducted fairly and orderly in each precinct.
