Thank you for reaching out to request a ride or escort to the polls! In March, a few of our friends were called on to assist driving folks to the polls. For this November election, we wanted to do our best to work together and create a system for Washington County that folks could rely on.
This also goes without saying that we are in a pandemic and we recognize that Washington County is a hot spot for our state. We take your vote and health seriously. Should you feel that your safety and health are being compromised, we will do our best to assist you.
