The Wake County Republican Party needs dedicated patriots to register as poll observers. We need republican poll observers to work the election sites, observe and report any suspected problems to protect our free and fair elections.
Purpose
Wake County GOP is committed to protecting our election integrity by ensuring our electoral process is safe, transparent, and fair. We need to restore the public’s faith and confidence in our election results and overall electoral system. This can only be done with the help of dedicated, passionate conservative volunteers who understand the importance of free and fair elections.
Poll observers provide the necessary election safeguard to ensure that no legally eligible voters are disenfranchised, that all votes are accurately and legally tabulated, and that voters are not confused about laws and procedures.
