Voter ID and the April 2012 Primary

PENNSYLVANIA'S
NEW VOTER PHOTO ID LAW
Information regarding the April 2012 Primary

Section 10 the legislation requires that for all elections held after January 1, 2012 and prior to September 17, 2012, local election officials (poll workers) are responsible for carrying out the following two duties:

1) election officials MUST Request that every elector show proof of identification; and

2) if a voter votes at a polling place and does not provide proof of identification and will be required to provide proof of identification beginning September 17, 2012, election officials MUST provide written information prescribed by the Secretary of the Commonwealth.

Proof of identification requirements for 'first-time' voters remain in effect for the April 24 General Primary. Therefore, those voters who are required under the Help America Vote Act and/or the Pennsylvania Election Code to provide proof of identification will still be required to provide proof of identification at the April 24 General Primary.

What does a Committee Person Do?

DUTIES OF A REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE MEMBER

The Committee Member’s primary goal is to elect qualified Republicans to office and to promote the principles of the Republican Party. The Committee Member is active throughout the year, interacting with the voters and working to elect qualified Republicans to office. These responsibilities do not just occur on Election Day.The main duties of Committee Members are:

· Communicate with and service the voters.
· Circulate Candidate Nominating Petitions.
· Register Republican voters.
· Deliver Absentee Ballots to voters.
· Canvass with candidates.
· Distribute campaign material before an election.
· Make get-out-the-vote phone calls.
· Cover the poll on election day.
· Recruit and train volunteers.
· Identify, recruit, select, and support qualified Republican candidates.
· Help with Republican fund-raisers.
· Vote on endorsement of Republican candidates.
· Attend Republican meetings and events.

These duties may seem like a very big responsibility...but if you take it step-by-step and develop a well laid out plan in advance, you will find being a Committee Member is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences that you will ever have.
