Tips for Poll Greeters

Tips for Poll Greeters:

• You are the last person a voter meets before voting. Greeters can change 10% to 20% of the vote. Voters may know one or two of the candidates, but not all. The CCNC red annotated ballot lists the conservative and veteran candidates and the reasons to vote for them. No guesswork. It works.

• Bring a chair. Personal items. (Food, sunglasses, etc.) Dress warmly.

• Please be prompt to relieve the last greeter.

• You may certainly bring a friend to help.

• There will be a designated area for electioneering greeters. The area is no more than 50 feet from the entrance door.

• When possible, exchange phone numbers with poll observers. You may see 'unusual' activities in the parking lot that the observer needs to be aware of.

• The ballots are in a large plastic zip bag.

• There will be an 18" by 24" poster on a chair. Stand next to it.

• Please greet voters: "Would you like a Conservative and Veteran Ballot?"

• There will be a recycling box at the exit door. Check it periodically for the annotated ballots discarded by voters when exiting the polling place. Use them to replenish your stack. Make sure you have my cell should you need more ballots. 209 986 3845.

• Please pass the ballots to the next greeter.

• Please, do not argue with voters or 'others.' If a voter 'threatens or intimidates,' you need to report this to the Chief Judge and call me. 209 986 3845. Try to get a license plate number. You can also call 911. (This rarely happens, but it sometimes does.) You have a first amendment right to be out there. See 18 US Code Federally Protected Activities.
