Democratic Party Offers 10/4 Voting Rights Training in ABQ, SF, Las Cruces

From the Democratic Party of New Mexico:

November 2nd is weeks away. This critical election is upon us. The Democratic Party of New Mexico (DPNM) is determined to protect voter rights, to insure that no voter is turned away at the polls, and to insure that all votes are counted this time.

DPNM needs your help. We need Democrats willing to volunteer for pre-election, Election Day, and post-Election Day activities. In each county, the County Chair will be appointing poll watchers and challengers. To help the County Chairs, DPNM will be holding training sessions on election laws and voters’ rights. All of these sessions will be held on October 4, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in Albuquerque, Las Cruces and Santa Fe:

Albuquerque - Plumbers and Steamfitters Union Hall, 510 San Pedro Dr., SE
Las Cruces - Carpenters Hall, 1880 N. Solano
Santa Fe - NEA-New Mexico, 2007 Botolph St.

The training sessions will review:

New Mexico’s Voter Bill of Rights
registration requirements
voter’s eligibility and qualification requirements,
absentee voting
early voting
voter assistance

The trainings will address how to recognize voter intimidation and other unlawful practices, and procedures to be followed by the officials in counting the absentee, early vote, machine and provisional ballots. All Democrats are invited and encouraged to attend. If you are interested in attending or in volunteering for this important project, please reply by email to: Jim@NMVictory2004.com using the words “VOTER PROTECTION PROGRAM NM” in the subject line. Let’s rally New Mexico to vote for Democrats.
