To volunteer as a Republican Election Officer:

Email pollwatchers@fairfaxgop.org
Why should you volunteer?
Virginia election law says that there should be equal numbers of Republican and Democrat election officers and poll watchers in every county and precinct. The Democrats have more than enough volunteers. In Fairfax County, the Republicans are running behind. We need more volunteers! If you don’t step up, who will?
If you have more questions, please email pollwatchers@fairfaxgop.org.
