Early Voting, Grace Period Voting
Early voting is probably the best place to display your poll watching skills. Since early voting is the first time in the election cycle that a poll watcher will experience new rules, we encourage poll watchers to volunteer at early voting to hone their skills.
While poll watching during early voting is very much the same as poll watching on Election Day, there are a few differences that we need to explore.
