Inside Poll observers help ensure election laws are followed, identify potential issues, and report concerns so they can be addressed quickly. Most shifts are calm and routine, and you will never be expected to handle situations on your own. We'll provide the training, resources, and support you need to be successful. ### What You'll Learn - Poll observer basics - What to expect at the polling place - Updated guidance for situations observers may encounter this fall - What to look for and how to document issues - How to report concerns and get support - The role poll observers play in protecting voters ### Why It Matters With critical elections ahead, we need trained volunteers in every corner of North Carolina. Poll observers serve as our eyes and ears inside polling places, helping ensure election laws are followed and that voters can cast their ballots without unnecessary barriers. Whether you've done this work before or are brand new, we'll help you get ready. #### No Prior Experience Required We'll provide the training, materials, and support you need to feel confident serving as a poll observer. #### Important: This session is for NCDP Inside Poll Observers.
