Georgia Election Protection's (GA EP) Legal Roving Monitor (LRM) program meets two essential voting rights needs in Georgia.

First, we must ensure dedicated legal response capacity to respond rapidly to urgent voting rights and election issues. Second, we must make significant progress in evaluating Georgia's polling locations for accessibility for voters with disabilities.

Legal volunteers in Election Protection field programs are essential when and where rapid response is required. However, these needs are variable, and most volunteers spend portions of their shifts on call. There is a huge opportunity to utilize that time to assess (and ultimately improve) the accessibility of Georgia polling places for people with disabilities.

Volunteers will be assigned turf in one Georgia county. We only seek volunteers who live in or can cover Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Chatham, Bibb, Richmond, Clayton, and Doherty counties for the beginning of early voting and on Election Day.

Volunteers must have smartphones and access to a private vehicle to travel around their assigned county.

During shifts, volunteers will monitor polling locations within their assigned turf for voting access issues and evaluate them for disability access issues, completing surveys and using the other tools provided. Volunteers may be dispatched to polling locations at the request of the GA EP Command Center.

Should an issue occur in their county that requires legal support or rapid response, the Georgia Election Protection Command Center will dispatch the volunteer to respond under the guidance of the GA EP legal experts.
