Volunteers Needed for Election Day

Please let the Union County Democratic Committee know if you can serve as a poll watcher, greeter or runner on November 4, 2008. There are 189 one or two hour time slots to fill for the 27 precincts in Union County.

Poll watchers are a crucial part of the get-out-the-vote effort. They listen to the names being called out by election officials and check them from their list. This list is collected throughout the day, and then people who haven't voted yet are identified and called.

If you'd like to help, please respond by

• calling the UCDC office in Lewisburg 523-0258, or
• filling out a form at the UCDC office at 120 Market St, Lewisburg.

The deadline is fast approaching: October 17 is the last day to get your name added to the list of eligible poll watchers.
