Become a Poll Monitor

You can help protect our right to vote.

Nonpartisan poll monitors in Texas ensure eligible voters know how to cast their ballots and that their votes are counted.

Training is short, simple, and now available in person and online.

Whether it's your first time voting or your tenth, the process isn't as clear as it should be, especially here in Texas. Luckily, we all have a role we can play in making sure every eligible voter knows how to cast a ballot. Poll monitors are the first line of defense if questions or issues come up at a polling location.
