EDP is exploring creating an outreach program to make voting easier for seniors and disabled people in El Dorado County. This might include:

1. Helping people register to vote

2. Helping people who are already registered to sign-up for mail-in ballots

3. Delivering people's mail-in ballots to their designated drop-off locations

4. Transporting people to/from their polling location

If you can volunteer, please provide the information requested below. In addition to the activities listed above, we will need people to:

1. Help us plan

2. Design/conduct a poll/survey to determine which of the above services is/are actually needed

3. Determine our capacity/available locations based on volunteer interest

4. Set up/design web page for people to request services

5. Reach out to seniors, veterans, and political groups who can help us identify target voters and direct them to our web page

6. Conduct outreach to our target audiences—people who could use our help

7. Match volunteers with people needing help

8. And…other items to be decided upon after discussion and planning.

Please join our group, VoteSmart. Click here, and use the form to provide us with your information.

Home Address is optional, but please provide it--or at least your street and zip code--to help us plan where we can have carpools. Phone number is optional, share if you wish. In the Comments section, let us know if you can help plan, help with outreach, help on election day, etc.
