Voter Registration Canvassers

Hiring Immediately - $21-23/hr + bonuses

Full-time & Part-time

This year, with key issues and human rights on the line, it is extremely important that people uplift their voices at the ballot box to vote for the change that they want to see in their communities. Every eligible voter deserves the chance to influence their community and shape the electorate, but marginalized voters are often overlooked and underrepresented due to the many barriers in place that make it harder for people to exercise their right to vote. So, we are going to underrepresented communities and registering people to vote to make sure that Wisconsinites can uplift their voices and impact critical elections. We’ll engage with potential voters in busy public places in their communities to help them register to vote on a digital platform. Our goal is to register and mobilize new voters in Wisconsin that will help ensure that all voices are being heard.
