• Election Law Changes in Virginia in 2020 and 2021.
• The roles and responsibilities of a variety of paid (election officers) and volunteer positions (poll watchers, etc.) which operate under the authority of the local Registrar, a political party or as volunteers for organizations.
• An overview of significant changes in the operations of elections in Virginia that require an influx of volunteers to ensure a fair and transparent election process. 
• Creating an election integrity workgroup in your community or committee.
• Short term and long-term goals of improving election integrity in Virginia. 
• The role and responsibility of local Electoral Boards.

Unless otherwise noted, all training workshops will be conducted as in-person events and will not be provided as virtual events.  

Pre-registration is required for each workshop. Dinner will be provided, and seating is limited, so early registration is encouraged. See the registration links above for each individual training. 

Additional training workshops are being planned, so stay tuned.
