4 Ways to be a Voting MVP in 2024
1. BECOME A POLL WORKER
There is a huge shortage of poll workers across the state! They especially need election workers who are tech savvy and able to use computer systems.
For the primary elections, the need is especially severe in Forsyth, Johnston, Buncombe, Watauga, Yadkin, Perquimans, Surry, Stanly, and Nash counties--which have reported that they are short dozens of poll workers!

There is a new VR form in NC and all YCV volunteers must be retrained before they can go to a YCV event to educate, register, and empower voters. We have virtual trainings several times each month! Visit youcanvote.org/training to sign up.
