Greetings!



We are thrilled to tell you that tables are filling up rapidly and the early bird ticket deadline is fast approaching. You know you want to be there so why pay more? Click the picture below and be on your way to joining hundreds of excited and activated Democrats to hear Deputy DNC Chair Keith Ellison lay out a vision for 2018 and beyond. You can also personally thank our elected officials who are working hard for sane policies in DC and Springfield, chat up a gubernatorial candidate and simply enjoy an energetic evening of Democratic camaraderie and pride. We'll see you on April 23rd!

PollWatcher Training 
April 2, 2017

Never poll watched before? No worries!
Already trained and plan to poll watch?
We've got you covered!
Scroll down and submit the doc below.

Here's what we hope to accomplish with our vigilance at the polls in an smaller election like the municipals:

1) Determine where the biggest flaws still exist systemically far ahead of the 2018 primary. With the help of the County Board and Election Protection teams,  and election volunteers, we will gather data to encourage certain procedures and create acceptable standards of judge behavior and equipment handling with the new Executive Director at the Election Commission right away.

2) Support our township teams running in the municipals.

3) Give our incumbent Highway Commissioner in Wayne, Martin McManamon, every chance to retain that seat making sure proper procedures are followed in all Wayne polling places.

4) Teach our many brand new volunteers best poll watching practices and help them become competent and comfortable working election day and creating a positive and fair atmosphere in their polling places. 

5) Encourage our poll watchers to report back on the judges whose behavior suggests that we should ask for them to be replaced before the 2018 cycle gets underway. These reports will be turned into DuPage Election Commission's new ED Joe Sobecki with a request for removal which the Election Protection team will help follow up on in the ensuing months.
Please use this google doc to signup for training and/or to pick up your poll watcher materials.
