Our pro-voter poll monitors make sure eligible voters can cast their ballots, free from interference and voter intimidation. In the past, PTV’s volunteers have corrected improper election procedures at early voting sites and made sure polling places were accessible to voters of all mobilities.

As our eyes and ears on the ground, nonpartisan poll monitors are stationed at polling places, early voting sites, and absentee counting boards across Michigan to monitor the election process. Poll monitors don't need to be registered to vote in Michigan.

All poll monitors must complete PTV’s on-demand training on Michigan election law. After completing the training, poll monitors will be assigned to an early voting site or polling place near where they live. PTV strategically assigns poll monitors to locations with a history of disenfranchisement and voter suppression.
