Volunteer with Voter Services

Help Make Democracy Work!

​Join us to get involved in our work to engage with elected officials, empower new voters and to learn about issues that impact your community. 

Volunteers make everything we do possible. It's our volunteers who organize our programs, forums, speakers, as well as manage our election activities and register voters. 

Voter Services Chairs Kathy Miller and Liz Jensen want to help you mobilize your membership! 

The Voter Services team aims to fulfill the League’s mission of strengthening democracy through voter registration, voter education, and voter mobilization.
 
We welcome all League members to learn about our activities and find a volunteer opportunity that fits their interest.

Contact Kathy and Liz if you’re interested in being involved in one of these teams and its mission or if you'd just like to pitch in wherever the need is greatest!

Youth Vote Team
Mission: To register, educate, and motivate 100% of eligible Palo Alto teens to become lifelong voters. Our volunteers visit school classrooms to do all three. In the fall of 2020, we visited social studies classrooms at Paly by Zoom, and spoke to all of the Gunn seniors during Gunn Together Time on Zoom. In the spring of 2021, we will visit junior U.S. History classes at both schools (probably by Zoom) to register students to vote. This work requires multiple volunteers!

Voter Education Resource Team
Mission: To produce Pros & Cons events, candidates’ forums, the Voter’s Guide, and Voter’s Edge, as well as to explain the Voters Choice Act to the public and develop new voter education concepts such as active policy reflection. In the fall of 2020, this team was very busy and new volunteers were welcomed! 

Voter Registrar Liaison Team
Stay up-to-date on voter registration and voter issues and serve as a resource for educating volunteers who are part of other teams/projects.  Liaise with the registrar over key registration and voting issues.

Executive Committee: Oversee all Voter Services (VS) activities and report to LWVPA Board.

Voter Education

Picture
​Be a speaker at our election Candidate Forums or Pros & Cons presentations!

Write and research for and against arguments to help our voters make an informed vote during elections. Perfect for policy wonks and a great way to learn about issues!

Register Voters

Picture
We register voters across the city every year and actively encourage all citizens to vote.  We also register voters at naturalization ceremonies.  

​​Volunteer Today and help us ensure every eligible voter in our city is registered and ready to vote.

Get Out the Vote

Picture
​ ​Help us mobilize registered voters by reaching out to them to turn out the vote during elections!

We write postcards to remind registered voters to vote in the primary and general elections, take friends and neighbors to the polls, and pledge to vote in every election!


Please contact our Voter Services Co-Chairs to get more information.
