- Increase your understanding of how elections work
- Tell your friends & social media followers how the vote counting went, to stop rumors
- Public oversight can help increase voter confidence in our elections!

You can be the eyes of the public!
Did you know that in most places the processing and counting of votes is open for observation, yet historically hardly anyone shows up to make sure everything is done fairly and accurately?
While political parties often send their own observers to watch the vote counting, our training is specifically about nonpartisan election observing. Even if you want to observe on behalf of a candidate or party, the training will provide you with key insights.
