VDR Training: While you don’t have to be a Voter Deputy Registrar (VDR) to help with any activity, but if you haven’t gone through the VDR training we have two options: 1) You can go any time between 8:00am to 4pm to the county elections department and ask to do the VDR Training, or 2) if there’s 10 more folks who want to do a group training, email me so that we can set up a group training to do it together.
For now, here are some events that we need volunteers for this month:
