How To Get Involved
Make Your Voice Matter In Community
There are many ways to make a difference in York County. Whether you have a few hours or want to take on a leadership role, your participation strengthens our community and our elections.
Join the YCRC
Joining the York County Republican Committee (YCRC) is the best first step to get involved.
Be a Poll Worker
A poll worker is a volunteer position and works outside the polling area/precinct, greeting voters and passing out literature. The shifts are flexible.
Be a Poll Watcher / Observer
A poll watcher/observer is a volunteer representative of the Republican party to observe the polls inside and its operations during early voting and on election day, with the volunteer hours being flexible. Poll watchers can work as many hours as they wish. Training is required, and proof of training is mandatory to receive a Poll Watcher Letter of Authorization from the County Chairman, per Virginia Code 24.2-604.
Be a Precinct Captain
As a precinct captain, you will be responsible to build a team of area volunteers/neighbors/family who are available to help get out the vote and on election day to work outside the polls (poll worker), handing out campaign literature and palm cards. You may also want to host meet-and-greets with the candidates in your neighborhood.
Be a District Leader
A district leader helps to recruit Precinct Captains. They organize the captains in their district for door-knocking and phone banking events to GOTV. As a leader, you make sure your precinct captains have enough literature, signs, sample ballots, etc. Plan on attending Election Integrity seminars and sharing your knowledge with your district precincts.
Be an Election Official
An Election Official is a paid position, works inside the polling location on election day (not for early voting), and must attend the required training provided by the Board of Elections. The hours are from 5:00 am till 8:30-9:00 pm, and you must be able to work the entire day. It is a long day, but it is always a fun day!
