Yard Signs
We have yard signs for all local candidates and YES on Issue 1 signs. We also have Harris/Walz yard signs (requesting a $5 donation). Our goal is to have signs visible throughout the county. If there is an area our signs are not visible, let us know. Or better yet come for signs! The Athens Dem office is open M-F from 1:00-5:00 pm. Saturday and Sunday Noon until 4:00 pm.
Canvassing
Door knocking with Democrats! We are talking to democrats to make sure they have a plan to vote. We want to make sure voters know their candidates, why to vote YES on Issue 1, and why are the Ohio Supreme Court Judges are so important to ensuring the intent of the Ohio Reproductive State Amendment. Help prepare voters for when they go to vote!

Postcards
We have new batches of postcards waiting to be written. We are just waiting for the address lists. We have Harris/Walz postcards and Sherrod Brown postcards. Contact Andrea Reik areikathens@gmail.com to find out when we have the addresses. But you could also come in for postcards to send to friends and family to remind them to vote.
Mail-In Ballot Follow Up
We are looking for volunteers to make calls to voters who have requested a mail-in ballot but have not yet returned the ballot. During the week before the mail-in ballots are due we will follow up with those voters. Volunteers will be given telephone numbers for these voters and reach out to them to remind them to return their mail-in ballots. Mail-in ballots must be postmarked by November 4th or to the Board of Elections by 7:30 pm on November 5th, election day.
Please contact Doug Debrick at dgdebrick@gmail.com to volunteer or get more information.

Literature Handout at the Athens County Board of Elections
Finally- as we get closer to the end of October and early November, we expect we will have lines at the Athens Board of Elections to Early Vote. In the past we have had volunteers stand behind the campaign parameter to provide campaign literature to voters.
