Election Protection Poll Monitor Training 2026

Thank you for your interest in Election Protection with the Ohio Voter Rights Coalition! Please register for one of the available trainings listed to become a nonpartisan Poll Monitor for the November General election. ***Please note - you only need to attend one of the trainings listed here, not all of them! Ohio's Election Protection program is part of the national 866ourvote.org program to promote the 866-OUR-VOTE hotline and ensure that all voters have an equal opportunity to vote and have that vote count. Trained poll monitors are a friendly face outside of polling locations to help voters if they have questions and report any issues. Even if you have served as a poll monitor in past years, we do ask that you sign up and retake it again so you can be refreshed with the information and updated on new information relevant this year. If you are unable to attend, please register and keep an eye out for a follow up email that will come with a recording of the training and notes. Please reach out if you have any questions! Thank you again for helping out with Election Protection and poll monitoring with the Ohio Voter Rights Coalition. Trainings available Thu, Oct 8, 6:00pm–7:00pm EDT Tue, Oct 13, 12:00pm–1:00pm EDT Thu, Oct 22, 6:00pm–7:00pm EDT Tue, Oct 27, 12:00pm–1:00pm EDT

Upon execution of the Code of Conduct, a link will be sent to participants to sign up for their Election Day shift.
