Help Ensure Election Integrity

Early Voting begins September 18, 2026. Help us ensure fair and transparent elections in Prince William County.

There are two ways to serve: become an Officer of Elections, or serve as a Republican Poll Watcher.

Virginia law calls for equal representation from each major party among Officers of Election at every polling place, so we need committed Republicans in these roles. If you can’t commit to a full day, a Poll Watcher shift is the best way to help. Officers of Election may also volunteer as Republican Poll Watchers when they are not scheduled to serve as Officers of Election.
