In 2022, Chippewa Valley Votes, a collaborating organization to LWV-GCV, will hold a voter registration/absentee ballot application event on January 25, March 15, July 19, and October 18, prior to each of the four 2022 elections.<br /><br />CVV is recruiting several volunteers to assist with voter registration and absentee ballot outreach at the jail on January 25, 1:00 to 3:30 p.m. (Check back for registration for the remaining dates in 2022.) <br /><br />Your experience as a volunteer will include:<br /><br />A 20 to 30 minute refresher in the voter registration process, and the procedures in the jail.<br /><br />A check-sheet for everyone we assist, to help guide you smoothly through the process.<br /><br />Meeting one-on-one with jail residents using the semi-contact rooms.<br /><br />Wrap up afterward to answer any questions and collect data.<br /><br />All volunteers need to be vaccinated, and boosted if appropriate, for COVID. We will always wear masks and hand sanitizer will be available. We orient in a large conference room where social distancing is feasible, and we never enter the jail proper. We work in semi-contact rooms that are phone-booth sized, and the only contact with a jail resident is a slit just large enough to slide a piece of paper through. It is more challenging to maintain social distance between volunteers, though we will do so as much as possible.<br /><br />The work we are doing in the Eau Claire County Jail makes a difference – both to each person we meet with, and in setting an example that will help break down barriers and build bridges in other jails statewide.<br /><br />Click on the &quot;Register Now&quot; button to sign up for the January 25 event.
