VOTE411: Volunteers Needed! – MyLO – League of Women Voters

Ashley Coates and the VOTE411 team will be inviting all local candidates in Contra Costa County to post their campaign information on VOTE411 for the November 2026 General Election. After the Elections Office releases the candidate list, we email all candidates to invite them to complete their free VOTE411 profile. VOTE411 helps voters find the information they need to vote. (See our VOTE411 page for more information about using VOTE411.)   We need volunteers during August and September for various tasks, including: Research candidate email addresses as needed — look online for how to contact them and update the contacts spreadsheet. Contact candidates by phone/text after an invitation is sent to make sure they received the invitation! Follow up a week later if the candidate has not posted. Enter local ballot measure information into VOTE411. Place VOTE411 signs near busy intersections. Place VOTE411 bookmarks in community locations such as coffee shops, hair salons and bulletin boards. Send emails produced by the VOTE411 system and review candidates’ posts (advanced team members) . Volunteers receive a CAVOTE411 email address to use when contacting candidates.  Help is available from experienced team members.  Training starts in early August, and volunteering starts in late August.
