Even though you were required to provide an email address to access this form, we want to confirm which email you would prefer us to use when contacting you. Some people use a "dummy email" address when filling out online forms in order to protect the personal email addresses they use most often.

If so, please summarize your experience, the elections you observed and which organization you volunteered with (unless you observed on your own). If you have no experience at all, that is quite alright -- we will still do our best to find you some volunteer opportunities. We ask this question so we can group together various volunteers with different levels of experience during our volunteer shifts.

If you have not yet completed the training, you must do so prior to volunteering as an Election Observer.

We'd like to get an initial sense of when you will be available to volunteer now. We will start scheduling volunteers for specific shifts around the middle of October. For this question, "mornings" are 8:00 a.m. to Noon, "afternoons" are Noon to 4:00 p.m., and "evenings" are 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.  And please check all time periods you are available. If you are interested in volunteering at a specific time, please note that in your comments in the last question.

A "drop box observer" is someone who regularly stops by to check on one or a few ballot drop boxes scattered around Multnomah County. We ask these observers to take a good look at each drop box to ensure that it is locked, secure, and not overflowing with ballots.
