Whether it's your first time voting or your tenth, the process isn't as clear as it should be, especially here in Texas. Luckily, we all have a role we can play in making sure every eligible voter knows how to cast a ballot. Poll monitors are the first line of defense if questions or issues come up at a polling location.

There are three simple steps to serving as a poll monitor:

1. Get trained: Attend a training so you feel confident and prepared.
2. Sign up: Select a time and polling location that are convenient for you.
3. Show up: Come ready to help your neighbors make their voices heard.

Returning volunteer? You don’t need to retake the training. Visit helptexasvote.org to sign up for your next shift.

When Texans protect the right to vote, we're able to advocate for the needs of our communities and the dreams of future generations.
