In every election, poll watchers are the eyes, ears, and defenders of the candidates running for an elective position.

This three-hour comprehensive online training equips poll watchers, lawyers, and advocates with the knowledge, tools, and legal firepower they need to safeguard every ballot and protect the electoral process. This program prepares participants to monitor every step -- from ballot casting to final proclamation -- empowering them to spot and address irregularities that could impact the outcome.

This comprehensive briefing offers a deep dive into essential election stages, such as casting, counting, canvassing, and proclamation, where even small discrepancies can lead to victory or defeat.

Attendees will learn their rights and responsibilities as poll watchers, effective documentation practices, and ways to respond to any incidents of fraud or interference. With focused modules on pre-proclamation controversies, annulments, and election protests, this program will provide a robust legal and procedural foundation to confidently advocate for a fair count.  Invest and enroll your poll watchers to win that election!
