Common Cause Georgia is recruiting volunteers to be nonpartisan poll monitors as part of the Election Protection program. Volunteers are particularly needed in Dougherty, Douglas, Fayette, Floyd, Forsyth, Hall, Henry, Lowndes, Macon-Bibb, Mitchell, Muscogee, Richmond/Columbia, Spalding, and Tift counties. Poll monitors are provided training before being deployed.

The group also urges Georgians to consider serving as official poll workers. Poll workers are an essential part of our voting infrastructure, and in 2020, more than 27,000 Georgians served as poll workers in the Peach State. More information about serving as a poll worker is available at https://georgiapollworkers.sos.ga.gov/Pages/default.aspx. People who are willing to serve should contact their local elections office; a list of those offices is available at https://elections.sos.ga.gov/Elections/countyelectionoffices.do.

የጋራ ምክንያት መግለጫ የጆርጂያ ዋና ዳይሬክተር አውና ዴኒስ

ሁላችንም በድምፅ ስንሳተፍ ‹መንግሥታችን በሕዝብ› ጠንካራ እና የበለጠ ተወካይ ይሆናል። 

But the anti-voter legislation that’s been pushed through our legislature means that it will be harder for some voters to vote this year. So it’s more important than ever for Georgia voters to make a plan to vote – and maybe make a backup plan, too. 

This year, it’s also important for us to encourage each other to cast our ballots. In our government ‘by the people’ we owe it to each other to make sure we all vote.

For anyone who is confused by the new rules or has problems voting, help is available through the nonpartisan Election Protection hotline. Just call 866-OUR-VOTE. The program has been around for more than two decades; it’s run by a nonpartisan coalition of more than 100 organizations; and it has a lot of expertise in helping voters. 

ስለዚህ ጆርጂያውያን በአዲሶቹ ህጎች ብቻ መንገዳችንን መፈለግ አያስፈልጋቸውም። ጥያቄዎች ካሉን የሀገራችንን ምርጫ ቢሮ ወይም ከፓርቲ ነፃ የሆነ የስልክ መስመር ማግኘት እንችላለን።

We urge all voters in Georgia to make sure we make our voices heard in this election. Our ‘government by the people’ needs ሁሉም በእሱ ውስጥ እንድንሳተፍ.
