Volunteer Opportunities – Earn Your Black T-Shirt!

Thank you for your interest in helping on 23 September at the Early voting sites listed in the table below.  You’ll see the sites where AVV is establishing a team to help GOP volunteers as they welcome voters and celebrate Democracy.  In this table, you’ll find the AVV lead member for each site as well as his contact phone number and email address.  The AVV lead is organizing the volunteer schedule. Please consider volunteering for a short time during this day.  The normal voting day runs from approximately 8 AM to 5 PM.  The busiest time for voting is normally 1100 – 1300.  Wear your Service hat, Veteran shirt, or patriotic gear!  Hope to see you there.
