Iowa Forward Poll Observer Training

Are you interested in protecting Iowa voters this fall? Join us as a Democratic Poll Observer for the general election! Poll Observers are the eyes and the ears of our team on the ground during Early Voting (beginning October 14) and on Election Day (November 3). Their presence is critical to show our community members, and local, state, and federal officials, that we are committed to protecting each other and our democracy. There is no residency requirement to be a poll observer and you can observe anywhere in the state! We will answer your questions and provide full training and resource materials. We welcome new and experienced poll observers alike. You only need to sign up for a single one-hour training to be a poll observer. This is an online event. You will receive a link in your email to join our Zoom meeting the day before the event. We are recruiting more than 1,000 poll observers for this election. Please invite your friends to sign up and join us for this training!
