Be a Nonpartisan Absent Voter Counting Board Challenger in Michigan
Ensure that ballot counting proceeds smoothly.
Posted October 7, 2024
Work & Deliverables
Absent Voter Counting Boards (where absentee ballots are counted in larger cities) tend to run smoothly, but we have seen attempts to disrupt them and cast doubt on election integrity in the past.
PTV needs challengers to monitor the counting process, ensure bad actors don’t interfere, and take action if necessary. Challengers are needed before, on, and after Election Day. The highest need is on Election Day, especially after 8 pm. Challengers must be registered to vote in MI and must complete PTV’s training before their shift.
