Wisconsin Post-Election Observers

Help support and affirm the integrity of Wisconsin's elections

Posted October 24, 2024

Immediate Problem

Since elections are highly decentralized in Wisconsin, electoral process observations allow for ensuring that elections are conducted in a fair and impartial manner!

Work & Deliverables

With election day fast approaching, we are looking for volunteers interested in observing post-election equipment audits and potential recounts. This program is open to volunteers from out of state, if they can be on the ground in Wisconsin for audits.

Be aware that municipalities are only required to give 24 hours notice of their audits so volunteer flexibility is a must for this opportunity!

Currently not accepting new volunteers.

League of Women Voters of Wisconsin

Since 1920, The League of Women Voters has fought to improve our government. We are a peoples' organization that works to engage all Americans in the decisions that impact their lives. We operate at national, state and local levels through more than 800 state and local Leagues, in all 50 states as well in DC and the Virgin Islands. We never endorse or oppose political parties or candidates, but we are political. We were formed from the movement that secured the right to vote for women. Therefore, the centerpiece of the League’s efforts remains to expand participation and give a voice to all Americans. We do this at all three levels of government. We engage in both broad educational efforts as well as advocacy. Our issues are grounded in our respected history of making democracy work for all Americans. The League is the original grassroots citizen network. We are directed by the consensus of its members and mobilized whenever necessary. Over time, the League's legislative priorities have changed to reflect the needs of society and critical issues of concern. Yet the organization remains true to its basic purpose: to make democracy work for all citizens. Our mission is to Empower Voters and Defend Democracy.
