Poll monitoring
From Mobilize the Immigrant Vote
volunteers go to selected poll sites, usually sites where there is high density of voters from your community, and monitor if poll workers are doing an effective job, that no voters are turned away, and that the site is abiding by the Voting Rights Act, specifically sections that require qualifying precincts to provide in-language ballot materials. All cases of voter intimidation, discrimination and violations of the Voting Rights Act are reported to the County Clerk’s office immediately. This activity is listed under voter advocacy.
