Volunteer Opportunities

As we approach the November midterm elections, there will be multiple ways that individual volunteers can help.

Registering Voters

  • You can become a “Deputy Voter Registrar” (DVR) by going to this Travis County site, where you will fill out a form with your information, watch a 20-minute training video, and then take a test
  • Organizers for the Blue Action Democrats and the League of Women Voters set up voter registration opportunities at various events and sites
  • Let me know if you become a DVR by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page, which takes you to a form that directs an e-mail to me
  • filling out a form I’ve set up for this precinct website — you can find it by clicking here.

Writing Postcards

Our southwest Austin chapter of the Blue Action Democrats will begin weekly postcard parties at Doc’s Backyard Grill this summer.

To get on the list to be notified about postcard parties, use the link at the bottom of this page.

Knocking on Doors in our Precincts

When October arrives, we will begin preparing lists of likely Democrats in southwest Austin precincts whom we wish to target in a “Get Out the Vote” (GOTV) program.

Become part of our outreach program, knocking on doors in your neighborhood who are likely Democrats. Blue Action Democrats can give the tools to do this —  lists of neighbors and a simple mobile phone app that we use to keep track of progress..

Knocking on doors is the GOLD STANDARD for effective GOTV efforts, along with contacting friends and neighbors by text (see below).

Texting Friends and Neighbors

We can assist you in drafting texts to send to people you know, and prepare lists of phone numbers of neighbors in our precinct. This is called “relational organizing.”

Over time, I have established relationships with neighbors who appreciate being told about Early Voting, for instance, and providing them with a link to their sample ballot.

Letting me know about your interest
